Context of Genesis 22:21

19Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed. 20After these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor – Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 22Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23(Now Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.) These were the eight sons Milcah bore to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

Commentaries on Genesis 22:21

Buz his brother - From this person Elihu the Buzite, one of the friends of Job, is thought to have descended. Kemuel the father of Aram - Kamouel , the father of the Syrians, according to the Septuagint.
