minor Biblical figure and ascribed ancestor to various communities (Genesis 10)
Uz is a name borne by more than one ancestral figure in Genesis and Chronicles, so this record requires identification before a single biography can be assigned.
Biography
Genesis 10 names Uz as a son of Aram, while Genesis 22 names another Uz as the firstborn of Nahor and Milcah. First Chronicles preserves related genealogies. The land of Uz is also the setting of Job but is a geographic designation, not necessarily one of these individuals.
Biblical Significance
This record should be disambiguated before enrichment so distinct men named Uz and the land of Uz are not conflated.
