In the Bible, "Luz" refers to two distinct locations. The first is an ancient city in the land of Canaan, which was later renamed Bethel by Jacob after his vision of the ladder reaching to heaven (Genesis 28:19). The second Luz is a city in the land of the Hittites, founded by a man who left the original Luz (Judges 1:26).
