Genesis 22:21 - Exposition

Huz his firstborn ,—( vide Genesis 10:23 , where Uz appears as a son of Aram; and Genesis 36:28 , where he recurs as a descendant of Esau. That he was a progenitor of Job (Jerome) has no better foundation than Job 1:1 — and Buz his brother ,—mentioned along with Dedan and Tema as an Arabian tribe ( Jeremiah 25:23 ), and may have been an ancestor of Elihu ( Job 32:2 )— and Kemuel the father of Aram . " Not the founder of the Arameans, but the forefather of the family of Ram, to which the Buzite Elihu belonged; Aram being written for Ram, like Arammim, in 2 Kings 8:29 , for Rammim, in 2 Chronicles 22:5 " (Keil).
