“And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided…”
„Peleg” (heb. „niflega”), dobio je ime
po razdvajanju zemlje odnosno kontinenata, jer
je u to vreme „zemlja plovila”. Geološki, lakše
granitne stene „plovile” su po bazaltu, koji čine
osnovu zemljine kore.
