Luz
The name Luz occurs twice in the Bible. The original Luz is a town in Canaan, a bit north of Jerusalem. When Jacob arrives there on his way to Haran, he has his famous ladder dream and renames the place Bethel. Then, in Judges 1:26, the men from the tribe of Joseph sack Bethel but let a collaborator go free. That man founds another town and calls this Luz, after the original name of the town he escaped from. |
