Buz

The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia

Second son of Nahor (Genesis 22:21). From the language of the genealogical lists, however, it is to be inferred that the name applies to a tribe; and from Jeremiah 25:23 it is clear that it was an Arabic one. It is probable that Elihu, the friend of Job (Job 32:2,6), was of this tribe.
