Generally considered to have been in the south of Palestine. The name occurs again in another genealogy, Gen 22:21<\/span>, Gen 36:28<\/span>; cf. Jer 25:20<\/span>. In Lam 4:21<\/span>, Uz is associated with Edom.

The four following persons are called the sons of Shem, 1Ch 1:17<\/span> being his grandsons, which is not unusual in Scripture,<\/p>\n Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash<\/strong>: the first of these sons of Aram, Uz, is generally thought to be the founder of Damascus; so Josephus t says. Usus founded Trachonitis and Damascus, which lies between Palestine and Coelesyria: there was a place called Uz in Idumea, La 4:21<\/span> and another in Arabia, where Job dwelt, Job 1:1<\/span> but neither of them seems to be the seat of this man and his posterity, who, in all probability, settled in Syria: his second son Hul, whom Josephus u calls Ulus, according to him, founded Armenia; which notion may be strengthened by observing that Cholobotene is reckoned a part of Armenia by Stephanus w; which is no other than Cholbeth, that is, the house or seat of Chol, the same with Hul; and there are several places in Armenia, as appears from Ptolemy x, which begin with Chol or Col, as Cholus, Cholua, Choluata, Cholima, Colsa, Colana, Colchis: but perhaps it may be better to place him in Syria, in the deserts of Palmyrene, as Junius and Grotius; since among the cities of Palmyrene, there is one called Cholle, according to Ptolemy y. Gether, the third son, is made by Josephus z to be the father of the Bactrians; but these were too far off to come from this man, and were not in the lot of Shem: Bochart a finds the river Getri, which the Greeks call Centrites, between Armenia and the Carduchi, whereabout, he conjectures, might be the seat of this man; but perhaps it may be more probable, with Grotius and Junius, to place him in Coelesyria, where are the city Gindarus of Ptolemy b, and a people called Gindareni, by Pliny c; though Bishop Patrick thinks it probable that Gadara, the chief city of Peraea, placed by Ptolemy d in the Decapolis of Coelesyria, had its name from this man: Mr. Broughton derives Atergate and Derceto, names of a Syrian goddess, from him, which was worshipped at Hierapolis in Coelesyria, as Pliny says e. The last of the sons of Aram, Mash, is called Meshech, in 1Ch 1:17<\/span> and here the Septuagint version calls him Masoch; his posterity are supposed to settle in Armenia, about the mountain Masius, thought to be the same with Ararat, and which the Armenians call Masis; perhaps the people named Moscheni, mentioned by Pliny f, as dwelling near Armenia and Adiabene, might spring from this man.<\/p>\n t Ut supra.

Hul:<\/em> Delitzsch<\/em> associates this with Cheli<\/em> ( Cheri<\/em>), the old Egyptian name for the Syrians, and the Hylatae<\/em> who dwelt near the Emesenes (Plin. 5, 19).

The Arabic geographers call two districts of Syria by the name of Hul, (Chul,<\/em>) and also trace to Gether <\/strong> the Themudites of Hedjaz and the Djasites of Jemama. (Knobel.)<\/p>\n ‘And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.’<\/p>\n The land of Uz was Job’s homeland, whose location is uncertain, but this may well have been a different Uz.
