Uz
Who he was
Uz was a Horite man, the son of Dishan, who was one of the chiefs of the Horites living in the land of Seir. The Horites were the original inhabitants of Seir before the Edomites displaced them. Uz is listed in the genealogy of the chiefs of Edom, which includes Horite and Edomite rulers. His mention helps trace the peoples living in Seir and Edom in the time of Esau and his descendants.
