2864. 'Uz her firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram; and Kesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel' means various religions and the forms of worship derived from these. This becomes clear from the fact that names, as has been stated, mean real things. The things meant by these names are various religions and forms of worship derived from these, as also with the names in Genesis 5, 11. What each name and each son means here however cannot be expressed so easily as no more than their names is given. Uz and Buz are also mentioned in Jeremiah 25:20, 23, though among several other names. Uz, who receives further mention in Lamentations 4:21; Job 1:1, is dealt with at Genesis 10:23, in 1233, 1234.
