Strong's Lexicon Uts: Uz Original Word: עוּץ Part of Speech: proper name; location Transliteration: `Uwts Pronunciation: oots Phonetic Spelling: (oots) Definition: Uz Meaning: Uts Word Origin: Derived from a root that means "to counsel" or "to take advice." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "Uz" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. Usage: The name "Uz" is used in the Bible to refer to both a person and a region. As a person, Uz is listed as a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah, and is considered an ancestor of various Semitic tribes. As a region, Uz is most famously known as the homeland of Job, the central figure in the Book of Job. Cultural and Historical Background: The land of Uz is traditionally associated with the area east of Israel, possibly in the region of Edom or northern Arabia. It was a place known for its wisdom and wealth, as evidenced by the character of Job, who was described as a man of great integrity and prosperity. The cultural context of Uz reflects a society that valued wisdom, counsel, and righteousness, aligning with the broader Semitic traditions of the ancient Near East.
