Peleg

Peleg is one of Eber's two sons, distinguished by the note that 'in his days the earth was divided' — his very name carries the memory of the Babel scattering as a generational landmark.

Peleg is introduced here with a striking parenthetical — his name means 'division,' and the text says the earth was divided in his lifetime — linking his birth to the Babel scattering that unfolds in the very next chapter.
