Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Buzi, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint may transliterate the name phonetically.

Usage: Buzi is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific individual. It is most notably recognized as the name of the father of the prophet Ezekiel. The name may imply a sense of humility or being despised, reflecting the root meaning of the word.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics or circumstances surrounding a person's birth. Buzi, as the father of Ezekiel, would have been part of the priestly lineage, as Ezekiel himself was a priest and prophet during the Babylonian exile. This period was marked by significant upheaval and transformation for the Jewish people, as they were taken from their homeland and faced the challenge of maintaining their faith and identity in a foreign land.
