Footnotes
The founding of a new Luz is an act of cultural memory: the man carries the old name into exile, as displaced peoples do across history. 'The land of the Hittim' (אֶרֶץ הַחִתִּים) likely refers to northern Syria or Anatolia, where Neo-Hittite states persisted into the Iron Age, though the new Luz has not been archaeologically identified. The scene's quiet poignancy is this: because hesed was extended and received, a man survived to name the future.
