Peleg:
(division, part) son of Eber and brother of Joktan (Genesis 10:25; 11:16). The only incident connected with his history is the statement that "in his days was the earth divided." an event embodied in the meaning of his name-"division." The reference is to a division of the family of Eber himself, the younger branch of which (the Joktanids) migrated into southern Arabia, while the elder remained in Mesopotamia.
