1346. Verse 17. And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years; and he begot sons and daughters.

'Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years' means duration and state, 'Eber' and 'Peleg' having the same meaning here as previously. 'And he begot sons and daughters' means matters of doctrine existing as forms of ritual.
