Wasalaam wana Intelligence,
Katika kitabu cha Ayubu 30: anasema "ngozi yangu ni nyeusi ila yanitoka" mstari huu unatupa picha kuwa Nabii Ayubu alikuwa ni mweusi bila shaka hata watu wa nchi hiyo aliyoishi Ayubu walikuwa ni weusi!
Swali nchi hiyo ya Usi aliyoishi Ayubu ilikuwa eneo hapa Afrika?
The Land of Uz ( Hebrew : ארץ עוץ ) is a location mentioned in the Old Testament , most prominently in the Book of Job , which begins, "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job ". [1] Scholarly consensus has not identified any actual country which corresponds to Uz.
According to the Dead Sea document, The War Scroll, the land of Uz is mentioned as existing somewhere beyond the Euphrates possibly in relation to Aram. In Column 2 verse 11, it is noted, "they shall fight against the rest of the sons of Aramea: Uz, Hul, Togar, and Mesha, who are beyond the Euphrates."
Uz is sometimes identified with the kingdom of
Edom , roughly in the area of modern-day southwestern Jordan and southern Israel . [2]
Lamentations 4:21 reads: "Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz." Other locations proposed for Uz include more southern Arabia , especially Dhofar , said to be the home of the original Arabs; [3] Bashan in modern-day southern Syria /western Jordan;
Arabia east of Petra, Jordan; [4] and even modern-day Uzbekistan .
