PELEG
“division”.
Son or descendant of Eber (Gen. 10:25; 11:16). The “division of the land” mentioned here is enigmatic.
There are expositors who refer to it as the dispersion of Noah’s descendants after the event of the Tower of Babel. Others propose that at this time a cataclysm occurred on a global scale that caused a drift of continents with a speed that has been gradually decreasing.
