Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash

  

'Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash,' as in Genesis 10:23, signify several kinds of knowledges derived from the knowledges of good, and anything pertaining those knowledges. Knowledges derived from the knowledges of good are natural truths, and anything pertaining to knowledges are actions based on them.

1160. Verse 6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

Here, as previously, 'Ham' means faith separated from charity. 'The sons of Ham' means things that belong to separated faith. 'Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan' were just so many nations who in the internal sense mean cognitions, knowledge, and the forms of worship which belong to faith separated from charity.
