Where Barachel appears in Scripture

Job 32

וַיִּחַר אַף׀ אֱלִיהוּא בֶן-בַּרַכְאֵל הַבּוּזִי מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת רָם בְּאִיּוֹב חָרָה אַפּוֹ עַֽל-צַדְּקוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ מֵאֱלֹהִֽים׃
2
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
וַיַּעַן׀ אֱלִיהוּא בֶן-בַּֽרַכְאֵל הַבּוּזִי וַיֹּאמַר צָעִיר אֲנִי לְיָמִים וְאַתֶּם יְשִׁישִׁים עַל-כֵּן זָחַלְתִּי וָֽאִירָא׀ מֵחַוֺּת דֵּעִי אֶתְכֶֽם׃
6
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
