‘Peleg: for in his days was the earth divided’. Why didn’t the author of the Bible use ‘nations’. The first and main meaning of the Hebrew word arez [or erets] is land, earth not nation.
Peleg’s grandfather was Salah and it means ‘send, scatter, make somebody to flee … ’ Might be that the scattering of the people happened when Salah was born. It was 37 years after the Flood. They had actually 64 years to go to their ordered territories by God before the continental drifts.
