Usage: The name Φαλέκ appears in genealogical contexts within the New Testament, specifically in the lineage of Jesus Christ.

Context: Φαλέκ (Phálek), translated as Peleg in English, is a significant figure in biblical genealogies. His name is mentioned in the context of the division of the earth, which is traditionally understood to refer to a significant event during his lifetime. This event is often associated with the division of languages at the Tower of Babel, as recorded in Genesis 10:25: "Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan."

In the New Testament, Peleg is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, highlighting his role in the ancestral line leading to the Messiah. This is found in Luke 3:35 (BSB): "son of Serug, son of Reu, son of Peleg, son of Eber, son of Shelah."

Peleg's mention in the genealogies underscores the continuity of God's plan through generations, linking the Old Testament patriarchs to the New Testament fulfillment in Christ. His name serves as a reminder of the historical and theological significance of the genealogical records preserved in Scripture.
