NASB Translation

II. בוּזִי proper name, masculine father of Ezekiel Ezekiel 1:3.

בּוֺקֵר noun masculine denominative herdsman Amos 7:14; of Amos himself, compare אֲשֶׁרהָֿיָה בַּנֹּקְדִים Amos 1:1.

Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּז (buz), meaning "to despise" or "to hold in contempt."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Buzi, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The name Buzi appears in the Old Testament as the father of the prophet Ezekiel.

Context: Buzi is mentioned in the context of the lineage of the prophet Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 1:3, the text states, "the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Kebar River, and there the hand of the LORD was upon him." This reference identifies Buzi as a priestly figure, suggesting that Ezekiel came from a line of priests. The name Buzi itself is not elaborated upon in the biblical text, and there are no additional narratives or details provided about his life or role beyond his identification as Ezekiel's father. The etymology of the name, derived from a root meaning "to despise," does not appear to have a direct narrative connection to Buzi's character or actions within the biblical account.
