Berean Strong's Lexicon Peleg: Peleg Original Word: פֶּלֶג Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּלַג (palag), meaning "to divide" or "to split." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Peleg, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogies. However, the concept of division can be related to Greek words like διαίρεσις (diairessis), meaning "division" or "distribution." Usage: 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
