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.
