2 | The earth divided in Peleg's time? | Gen 10:25 | CDBJ | 190197 | ||
Greetings 00123, This might be the answer to your question from the, (The Bible Background Commentary)? Gen. 10:25. dividing of the earth. While this has traditionally been taken to refer to the division of the nations after the Tower of Babel incident (Genesis 11:1-9), other possibilities exist. It could, for instance, refer to a division of human communities into sedentary farmers and pastoral nomads; or, possibly a migration of peoples is documented here that drastically transformed the culture of the ancient Near East—perhaps one represented in a break-off group traveling southeast in Genesis 11:2.

Hi, CDBJ, Thanks for your reply. By the way, do you mean the earth is civilization or men, but not the land? Is there no possibility the verse refers to a geographic reshaping of the landscape of the earth? -oo123 | ||||||
4 | The earth divided in Peleg's time? | Gen 10:25 | srbaegon | 190212 | ||
Hello oo123, There is the possibility of land being separated at that time. There is a theory that the entirety of the earth's land mass was one unit that separated over millions of years (notice how South America looks like it should fit next to Africa). This may have happened violently during Noah's flood, and then more movement occurred later. But that is just a hypothesis on my part. We simply don't know for sure. Steve |
