Historical Context

The emergence of Buzar and his family is situated in the period following the confusion of languages and the subsequent dispersal of humanity from the land of Shinar. After the Lord confounded their language, the descendants of Noah scattered across the earth, forming distinct families, languages, and nations. The sons of Japheth, including Gomer and his son Tugarma, migrated towards the northern regions. The cultural practice of this era involved establishing settlements and naming them after their progenitors or family names, a pattern followed by the descendants of Tugarma, including the family of Buzar. This act of building cities and naming them served to establish their identity and territorial claims in the newly divided world.

Narrative

The narrative concerning Buzar, as gleaned from the sources, is primarily focused on his role as one of the ten progenitors of the families descended from Tugarma. Following the scattering from the Tower of Babel, the family of Buzar, along with their brethren from Tugarma’s lineage, journeyed to the north and established settlements. A key action attributed to them, in common with the other families of Tugarma, was the construction of cities which they then named after their own family names. While the specific location of Buzar’s immediate settlement is not detailed beyond being in the north, the text notes that other families of Tugarma, Angoli, Balgar, and Parzunac, dwelt by the great river Dubnee. The narrative emphasizes the process of familial expansion and the establishment of distinct communities in the post-Babel world, with Buzar representing one of these early foundational families that contributed to the repopulation and diversification of the earth.
