Genesis 11:16
“And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:”
KJV
Read in Genesis 11Meaning
Eber fathers Peleg at age thirty-four, carrying forward the line that Genesis has already situated among the post-flood peoples.
Read carefully
Genesis 10's statement that the earth was divided in Peleg's days should not automatically be converted into a claim about continental plate separation.
Reflection
The genealogy links the broad map of nations with the particular family through which the narrative will continue.
