the sons of Aram These names convey nothing to us, though presumably they possessed importance in the geography of the Hebrews.

Uz The country of Job: see Job 1:1. Generally considered to have been in the south of Palestine. The name occurs again in another genealogy, Genesis 22:21; Genesis 36:28; cf. Jeremiah 25:20. In Lamentations 4:21, Uz is associated with Edom. These references however do not suit "a son of Aram."

Mash In the parallel passage (1 Chronicles 1:17) = Meshech.
