1And Peleg the son of Eber died in those days, in the forty-eighth year of the life of Abram son of Terah, and all the days of Peleg were two hundred and thirty-nine years.
2And when Yahuah (the Lord) had scattered the sons of men on account of their sin at the tower, behold they spread forth into many divisions, and all the sons of men were dispersed into the four corners of the earth.
3And all the families became each according to its language, its land, or its city.
4And the sons of men built many cities according to their families, in all the places where they went, and throughout the earth where Yahuah (the Lord) had scattered them.
5And some of them built cities in places from which they were afterward extirpated, and they called these cities after their own names, or the names of their children, or after their particular occurrences.
