Best Answer

The Land of Uz Job was a man in the land of Uz. Uz was most likely southeast of Palestine. And could have also been part of the land later called Edom. It would have been a fertile area near the Arabian Desert, able to support flocks and fields. Uz would not have been too far from Canaan because of the reference in Jeremiah. The inhabitants of this land were possibly descendants of Esau. Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Jeremiah 25:20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, Lamentations 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. Genesis 36: 19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. 28 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
