UZ

UZ

(a) Son of Aram, a son of Shem (Gen. 10:23; 1 Chron. 1:17).

(b) Son of Dishan, son of Seir (Gen. 36:28; 1 Chron. 1:42).

(c) The native land of Job, possibly the district populated by descendants of one of the above, or of Uz the son of Nahor (Jb. 1:1; Jer. 25:20; Lam. 4:21).

It is assumed that it was in the southeast of Palestine, towards Desert Arabia, a situation that would leave it exposed to attacks by nomadic Sabeans and Chaldeans (Jb. 1:15, 17).
