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 Geograph. l. 5. c. 19. , 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 Geograph. l. 16. p. 515. , and who dwelt to the right of the river Euphrates, about three days' journey from it.
