And after he had become the father of Peleg
This phrase marks a significant genealogical point in the lineage from Shem, Noah's son, to Abraham. The name "Peleg" is noteworthy because it is associated with the division of the earth (Genesis 10:25). The Hebrew root of "Peleg" means "division," which some scholars interpret as a reference to a significant event, possibly the division of languages at Babel or a geological division. This highlights the interconnectedness of human history and divine intervention, reminding us of God's sovereignty over the affairs of humanity.

Eber lived 430 years
The longevity of Eber, as recorded here, is a testament to the antediluvian and early postdiluvian lifespans. Eber is a significant figure as he is considered the ancestor of the Hebrews. The Hebrew root of "Eber" is associated with "to cross over," which can symbolize transition and movement, perhaps foreshadowing the journey of the Hebrew people. The extended lifespan signifies a period of stability and continuity in the early generations after the flood, emphasizing God's grace in preserving humanity.

and had other sons and daughters
This phrase underscores the continuation of the human family and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). The mention of "other sons and daughters" indicates that the biblical narrative focuses on specific lineages for theological reasons, rather than providing an exhaustive genealogical record. It serves as a reminder of the broader human account and God's ongoing work through all peoples, not just the highlighted individuals. This inclusivity reflects the universal scope of God's plan for redemption and the importance of every life in His creation.
