Usage: Peleg is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a descendant of Shem, the son of Eber, and an ancestor of Abraham. Context: Peleg is a significant figure in the genealogical records of the Bible, appearing in the Table of Nations. He is mentioned in Genesis 10:25 and 1 Chronicles 1:19, where it is noted that "in his days the earth was divided." This phrase has been interpreted to refer to a significant event of division, possibly a geographical or linguistic division, such as the division of the continents or the dispersion of peoples and languages at the Tower of Babel. Peleg is the son of Eber and the brother of Joktan. His lineage is part of the line leading to Abraham, making him an important ancestor in the biblical narrative. The name Peleg itself reflects the theme of division, which is central to his brief mention in the Scriptures.
