Man living at the time of the Patriarchs

Peleg

Genesis 10:25; 11:16–19

Eber’s son, born when Eber was 34 (Genesis 11:16). Genesis says “in his days the earth was divided” (Genesis 10:25), which many read as the scattering of the nations at Babel (Genesis 11:1–9). He lived 239 years (Genesis 11:18–19) and appears in Luke’s genealogy of Jesus (Luke 3:35).

'In his days the earth was divided' (Genesis 10:25). Lifespans drop sharply from his generation on, commonly linked to the aftermath of Babel.
