How should an Elihu, whose name signifies He is my God, labour after this holy assurance that God is his? How should a Barachel, whose name signifieth the Blessing of God, be always praying and waiting for the blessing of God, or returning praise to God (both in heart and life) for all his blessings?

Elihu the son of Barachel The Buzite.
Here Elihu is described by his family, as before by his father ⟨p. 13⟩The Buzite, that is, coming from Buzz. Yet there is a difference about that, some say he had that name from the place where he dwelt; we read (Jer. 25.23.) of a place called Buzz. Others say, he was called the Buzite from the name of his family; As he descended from Buzz the son of Nabor Abraham's brother (Gen. 22.21.) Micah hath borne children unto thy brother Nahor, Huz his first born and Buzz his brother. Master Broughton is clear in it, who gives this gloss upon the text; Elihu the Buzite, of Buzz Abraham's brothers son of the family of Ram, famous then for knowledge. Rebecca and Jacob seem to have left religion in Nahor's house. Thus far he. Jerome saith,1 Elihu was descended from the second son of Milcah, whom the Septuagint call Bauz, from him was Balaam the sorcerer, who according to the Tradition of the Jews was this Elihu spoken of in the book of Job, at first, an holy man and a Prophet, but afterwards an apostate. But I leave that as a Rabbinical Tradition.
