    Description

    Luz in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Luz is mentioned in Judges 1:26 as a Canaanite city that was destroyed by the Israelites. However, the man who had betrayed the city to the Israelites escaped and went to the land of the Hittites, where he built another city and named it Luz. No further details about the location are provided in the Bible.
