However, the concept of division can be related to Greek words like διαίρεσις (diairessis), meaning "division" or "distribution."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Peleg is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name is significant because it is associated with a period of division, as noted in Genesis 10:25, "One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan." The name Peleg is often interpreted to mean "division" or "split," reflecting a significant event during his lifetime.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Peleg is a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's sons, and is part of the genealogical line leading to Abraham. The mention of the earth being divided during Peleg's time has led to various interpretations, including the division of languages at the Tower of Babel or geological events that altered the earth's landscape. The genealogies in Genesis serve to connect the post-flood world to the patriarchs and highlight God's unfolding plan for humanity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
