Uz is a minor biblical figure listed as one of the descendants of Aram, who was a son of Shem in the genealogical accounts of the Hebrew Bible. He appears in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10:23 and is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 1:17. The passage enumerates Uz alongside his brothers Hul, Gether, and Mash as the sons of Aram. No additional narrative or historical details about Uz are provided in the biblical texts; he is known solely from these genealogical listings. Consequently, Uz is recognized primarily as an ancestor in the lineage that leads to various Aramean peoples, but no further biographical or cultural information is recorded.
