Luz
- The ancient name of a royal Canaanite city, connected with Bethel (Gen. 28:19; 35:6).It is debated among scholars whether Luz and Bethel represent one and the same town,- the former the Canannite name, the latter the Hebrew name, - or whether they were distinct places, though in close proximity.
- A town in the north, founded (Judg. 1:26) by "a man who came forth out of the city of Luz." It is identified by some with Luweiziyeh , 4 miles north-west of Banias.
