Where Luz appears in Scripture
וַיִּקְרָא אֶת-שֵֽׁם-הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא בֵּֽית-אֵל וְאוּלָם לוּז שֵׁם-הָעִיר לָרִֽאשֹׁנָֽה׃
And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
וַיָּבֹא יַֽעֲקֹב לוּזָה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן הִוא בֵּֽית-אֵל הוּא וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-עִמּֽוֹ׃
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him.
וַיֹּאמֶר יַֽעֲקֹב אֶל-יוֹסֵף אֵל שַׁדַּי נִרְאָֽה-אֵלַי בְּלוּז בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתִֽי׃
And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
וְיָצָא מִבֵּֽית-אֵל לוּזָה וְעָבַר אֶל-גְּבוּל הָֽאַרְכִּי עֲטָרֽוֹת׃
And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
וְעָבַר מִשָּׁם הַגְּבוּל לוּזָה אֶל-כֶּתֶף לוּזָה נֶגְבָּה הִיא בֵּֽית-אֵל וְיָרַד הַגְּבוּל עַטְרוֹת אַדָּר עַל-הָהָר אֲשֶׁר מִנֶּגֶב לְבֵית-חֹרוֹן תַּחְתּֽוֹן׃
And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Beth-el, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
וַיָּתִירוּ בֵית-יוֹסֵף בְּבֵֽית-אֵל וְשֵׁם-הָעִיר לְפָנִים לֽוּז׃
And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ אֶרֶץ הַֽחִתִּים וַיִּבֶן עִיר וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמָהּ לוּז הוּא שְׁמָהּ עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.
