2864. Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram; and Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. That these signify various religions and their modes of worship, is evident from the fact that, as before said, names signify actual things. The things which these names signify are religions and their modes of worship, as also are signified by the names which are found in Genesis 5 and 11. But what each name and each son here signifies, cannot so well be told, as they are merely named. Uz and Buz are also named in Jeremiah (25:20, 23), but among several other names. Uz is also found in Lamentations 4:21; Job 1:1; (concerning whom see Genesis 10:23, n. 1233, 1234).

1233. Verse 23. And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. “Aram” here, as before, signifies the knowledges of good; “the sons of Aram” are the derivative knowledges, and that which comes of these knowledges; “Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash,” signify so many kinds of these knowledges.
