Genesis 11:6

Study

       

6 And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.

1347. Verse 18. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu. “And Peleg lived thirty years,” signifies the beginning of the fifth state; “Peleg” signifies the same here as before; “and begat Reu,” signifies a derivation therefrom. Reu was a nation so named from him as its father, whereby there is signified a worship still more external.
