Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from בּוּז (Buz), a proper noun referring to a person or place.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the term "Buzite" in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of lineage or regional identification is present in various Greek terms related to genealogy and geography.

Usage: The term "Buzite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a person from the lineage or region associated with Buz. It is specifically used to describe Elihu, one of Job's friends.

Context: The term "Buzite" appears in the context of the Book of Job, specifically in Job 32:2, where Elihu is introduced as "Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite." This designation indicates his lineage or geographical origin, linking him to the family or region of Buz. Buz is mentioned in Genesis 22:21 as a son of Nahor, Abraham's brother, suggesting a familial connection to the broader Abrahamic lineage. The Buzites, therefore, may have been a clan or group associated with this ancestral figure. Elihu's introduction as a Buzite serves to provide background and legitimacy to his role in the narrative, as he offers a distinct perspective in the dialogues with Job. The Buzites, while not extensively detailed in the biblical text, are understood to be part of the broader Semitic tribes of the ancient Near East.
