Uzal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uzal (u'-zal), in the Hebrew Bible, is a descendant of Joktan (Genesis 10:27 ; 1 Chronicles 1:21), whose settlements are clearly traced in the ancient name of Sana, the capital city of the Yemen. He was believed to be the founder of an Arabian tribe. Uzal was the sixth of thirteen sons of Joktan. As noted in Genesis 10:26 - 10:29, Joktan became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah and Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah and Obal and Abimael and Sheba and Ophir and Havilah and Jobab.
