It is a significant location in biblical history, primarily known for its association with the patriarch Jacob.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Luz is first mentioned in the Book of Genesis. In <a href="/genesis/28-19.htm">Genesis 28:19</a> , it is recorded that Jacob, after experiencing a divine vision, renamed the place Bethel, which means "House of God": "He called that place Bethel, though previously the city had been named Luz."<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b> <br>Luz was an ancient Canaanite city located in the land of the Hittites. It is traditionally identified with the site of Bethel, situated north of Jerusalem. The city held strategic importance due to its location along key trade routes.<br><br><b>Significant Events:</b> <br>1. <b>Jacob's Vision:</b> The most notable event associated with Luz is Jacob's dream of a ladder reaching to heaven, with angels ascending and descending on it. This vision, as described in <a href="/genesis/28-10.htm">Genesis 28:10-22</a>, marked a pivotal moment in Jacob's life, leading to his covenant with God. Jacob's renaming of Luz to Bethel signified the transformation of the site into a sacred place of worship.<br><br>2. <b>Conquest by the Israelites:</b> In the Book of Judges, Luz is mentioned again in the context of the Israelite conquest of Canaan. <a href="/judges/1-22.htm">Judges 1:22-26</a> recounts how the house of Joseph attacked Bethel, formerly known as Luz. The spies sent by the Israelites encountered a man coming out of the city and promised to spare him and his family if he showed them the entrance to the city. The man complied, and the city was captured: "So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family."<br><br>3. <b>Rebuilding of Luz:</b> The man who helped the Israelites later went to the land of the Hittites and built a city, which he also named Luz. This indicates the continued significance of the name and its legacy beyond the original location.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Luz, later Bethel, holds profound theological importance as a place where God reaffirmed His covenant with Jacob, promising him descendants and land. This event underscored God's faithfulness and the continuation of the Abrahamic covenant through Jacob. The transformation of Luz into Bethel symbolizes the sanctification of ordinary places through divine encounter and revelation.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Impact:</b> <br>Bethel became a central site for worship and pilgrimage in Israelite history. It was one of the locations where the patriarchs built altars to God, and it continued to be a place of religious significance throughout the biblical narrative. The account of Luz/Bethel serves as a reminder of God's presence and guidance in the lives of His people, as well as the importance of dedicating places and moments to divine worship and remembrance.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Luz</span><p>separation; departure; an almond<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Luz</span><p>(<i>almond tree</i>). It seems impossible to discover with precision whether Luz and Bethel represent one and the same town--the former the Canannite, the latter the Hebrew, name--or whether they were distinct places, though in close proximity. The most probable conclusion is that the two places were, during the times preceding the conquest, distinct, Luz being the city and Bethel the pillar and altar of Jacob that after the destruction of Luz by the tribe of Ephraim the town of Bethel arose. When the original Luz was destroyed, through the treachery of one of its inhabitants, the man who had introduced the Israelites into the town went into the "land of the Hittites" and built a city which he named after the former one. (<a href="/judges/1-28.htm">Judges 1:28</a>) Its situation, as well as that of the land of the Hittites," has never been discovered, and is one of the favorable puzzles of Scripture geographers.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Luz</span><p>The ancient name of a part at least of Bethel, <a href="/genesis/28-19.htm">Genesis 28:19</a> <a href="/john/16-2.htm">John 16:2</a> 18:13; afterwards given to a smaller place founded by a refugee from Bethel, <a href="/jude/1-26.htm">Jude 1:26</a>.

It may also mean "bone," particularly a bone of the spine, and might be applied to a rocky height supposed to resemble a backbone (Lagarde, Uebersicht., 157). Winckler explains it by Aramaic laudh, "asylum," which might be suitably applied to a sanctuary (Geschichte Israels). Cheyne (EB, under the word) would derive it by corruption from chalutsah, "strong (city)."<br><br>(1) This was the ancient name of Bethel (<a href="/genesis/28-19.htm">Genesis 28:19</a> <a href="/judges/1-23.htm">Judges 1:23</a>; compare <a href="/genesis/35-6.htm">Genesis 35:6</a>; <a href="/genesis/48-3.htm">Genesis 48:3</a> <a href="/joshua/16-2.htm">Joshua 16:2</a>; <a href="/joshua/18-13.htm">Joshua 18:13</a>). It has been thought that <a href="/joshua/16-2.htm">Joshua 16:2</a> contradicts this, and that the two places were distinct. Referring to <a href="/genesis/28-19.htm">Genesis 28:19</a>, we find that the name Bethel was given to "the place," ha-maqom, i.e. "the sanctuary," probably "the place" (28:11, Hebrew) associated with the sacrifice of Abraham (12:8), which lay to the East of Bethel. The name of the city as distinguished from "the place" was Luz. As the fame of the sanctuary grew, we may suppose, its name overshadowed, and finally superseded, that of the neighboring town. The memory of the ancient nomenclature persisting among the people sufficiently explains the allusions in the passages cited.<br><br>(2) A Bethelite, the man who betrayed the city into the hands of the children of Joseph, went into the land of the Hittites, and there founded a city which he called Luz, after the ancient name of his native place (<a href="/judges/1-26.htm">Judges 1:26</a>). No satisfactory identification has been suggested.<br><br>W.
