Description
Who was Buz?
Buz was the son of Nahor, who was Abraham's brother (Gen. 22:21). He was one of Nahor's eight children born to his wife, Milcah. Buz and his siblings were Abraham's nephews and nieces, representing the extended family of the patriarch. The mention of Buz and his siblings in the genealogy of Nahor highlights the importance of family relationships and the preservation of ancestral records. It also provides context for the family background of Abraham, who was called by God to leave his homeland and relatives to go to the land of Canaan. The descendants of Buz, known as the Buzites, are later mentioned in connection with the land of Uz (Jer. 25:23), suggesting that they settled in a region east of the Jordan River.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The 10 best-attested of 13 are drawn. All 13 are listed below.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
