Génesis 22:21

21 A Uz su primogénito, y a Buz su hermano, y a Kemuel padre de Aram

Génesis 22:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 22:21

Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother
The first of these gave name to the land of Uz, where Job dwelt, and who seems to be a descendant of this man, ( Job 1:1 ) ; and from whom sprung the Ausitae of Ptolemy ^F16, who dwelt near Babylon and by the Euphrates. The latter, was the father of the Buzites, of which family Elihu was, that interposed between Job and his friends, ( Job 32:2 ) : and Kemuel the father of Aram;
not that Aram from whom the Syrians are denominated Arameans, he was the son of Shem, ( Genesis 10:22 ) , but one who perhaps was so called from dwelling among them, as Jacob is, called a Syrian, ( Deuteronomy 26:5 ) , or he had this name given him in memory and honour of the more ancient Aram: from this Kemuel might come the Camelites, of which there were two sorts mentioned by Strabo ^F17, and who dwelt to the right of the river Euphrates, about three days' journey from it.
