buz , bū´zı̄ , buz´ı̄t ( בּוּז , būz ):

(1) Second son of Nahor ( Genesis 22:21 ). The word occurs again in  Jeremiah 25:23 , by the side of Dedan ( Genesis 10:7 ) and Tema ( Genesis 25:15 ), and is probably, therefore, the name of a people living in the neighborhood of Edom. Būz and Hazo ( Genesis 22:22 ) are probably the countries of Bâzu and , Ḥazû (the former described as full of snakes and scorpions), which Esarhaddon invaded (Kb, Ii 131).

(2) A G adite ( 1 Chronicles 5:14 ) (בּוזי , būzı̄ ), "an inhabitant of Buz"), a title given to Elihu, the fourth speaker in the Book of Job ( Job 32:2 ).
