His name is associated with the term "Hebrew," which is used to describe the descendants of Abraham. Eber's lineage is crucial as it connects to the line of Shem, one of Noah's sons, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines. Eber's mention in genealogies highlights the importance of maintaining a record of God's chosen people, which is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament. His descendants include notable figures such as Abraham, further establishing the significance of his lineage in the unfolding of biblical history.<p><b>Peleg</b><br>Peleg is noted for the division of the earth during his lifetime, as mentioned in <a href="/genesis/10-25.htm">Genesis 10:25</a>. This division is often interpreted as a reference to the scattering of peoples and the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel, an event that underscores God's sovereignty and the consequences of human pride. Peleg's name, meaning "division," serves as a reminder of this pivotal moment in biblical history. The genealogical record of Peleg also emphasizes the continuation of God's plan through specific family lines, as his descendants are part of the lineage leading to Abraham and ultimately to Jesus Christ, fulfilling God's redemptive purposes.<p><b>Reu</b><br>Reu is a lesser-known figure in the genealogical records, yet his inclusion is vital for tracing the lineage from Shem to Abraham. His presence in the genealogy underscores the meticulous preservation of family lines that are central to the biblical narrative. Reu's mention serves as a link in the chain that connects the post-flood world to the patriarchs, highlighting the faithfulness of God in preserving a remnant through whom His promises would be fulfilled. The genealogies, including Reu's, demonstrate the unfolding of God's plan for humanity, culminating in the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant with His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/eber.htm">Eber</a></b><br>Eber is an ancestor of the Israelites and is often associated with the term "Hebrew."
