... 30 years to a generation, and taking 1700BC as an approximate date for the flood (having worked back from the destruction of the first Temple in 587BC), Lasken gave 2000-1900BC as a date for Cain and 1520-1500BC for the dispersion East in the time of Jactin (descended from Arphaxad who settled in Chaldea = Iran or Iraq) and Peleg, whose name means division.(Josephus Chapter VI) This presents problems with the standard chronology, as the Egyptian and Sumerian civilisations, usually given as starting around 3000BC, would have to have been after 1700BC. There is an Indian flood tradition (see Encyclopaedia Britannica and work by Muller in the 19th century) that also has ...

... divine,represented by what may be an axe, has the same consonants as the Greek antron, cave. Antron probably means a cave formed by a split in the rock. The Lydian word pel, cave, is related to the Greek spelaion. Pelekus is the Greek for a sacrificial axe, and it was in the days of Peleg that the earth was divided [Genesis X:25]. Furthermore, the German spellen means to split. Q-CD vol. 13, A Fire Not Blown, Ch. 3: Katreus 18 The name of Katreus, the successor of Minos, may have ka as a significant component. The treus' is probably tereus', ...
... period in excess of 200 years and that a period of 25-45 years shorter than this is entirely probable. A somewhat vague clue to the chronology of the Dispersion incident is provided in the Genesis account which reads: (Footnote 10: Gen. 10:25.) And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided. ' This statement has been interpreted to refer to the division that occurred at the time of the Dispersion. It is possible that the reference relates to a division among the people relative to a retention or rejection of a recognition of the God of Noah. If the latter is the ...
... little to the north, is Loch Canon with the Applecross district adjoining to its north, with Loch Torridon farther on, an area of high and rugged mountains of pine-Cambrian formation. Whatmore proposes that the "flaming Phlegethon" may be identified with the Applecross district. It may be related also to the Phlegra of Orpheus, and with the Peleg or Pheleg of Genesis, in whose time "the earth was divided". Says Mr. Whatmore, "The flaming river of these gods perhaps left an echo of the Beltain (i .e . Bel's or Saturn's) fires which were lighted in the Highlands on May Day until early last century."7Admittedly the old pagan ...
15. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Old Testament. A fourteenth occurs in the Talmud, the Tower of Babel Catastrophe. Virtually all of the thirteen Old Testament catastrophes are discussed in Talmudic literature including Talmudic commentaries. These fourteen catastrophes occurred across seventeen centuries. In chronological order, the fourteen Eastern Hemisphere catastrophes are: Noah's flood Oct. 24, 2484 B.C . The Peleg Catastrophe March 20-21, 2321 B.C .

... retained the basic structure and literary form of the records, while adding various footnotes and editing some of the lengthy later material [after the tablets - the story of Joseph etc.]. That is my belief and the basis of subsequent sections. Some accounts are too tantalisingly brief to interpret. What do you understand by the name of Peleg in his day was the earth divided' [10:25]. Does that refer to the Great Rift Valley? Who knows - there's just not enough information. Does the Babel story actually refer to something falling from the heavens? On the other hand, Jacob's dream of angels running up and down a ladder to heaven suggests ...
17. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... passages Saturn is the great natural god. He is in the first place the Super-Saturn who presides over the age of Lunaria when the Moon and Earths cleavage occurs. He is also the god, the planet, that fissioned in a nova and retired in favor of Jupiter-Zeus-Jehovah. But long before the deluge of Noah, in the age of Peleg, the earth was divided. So says the Bible. Patten regards this to be referring to the great earth cleavage [69]. In Justin the Historian, one finds another intriguing reference, a hypothesis, "whether the world, which is now divided into parts, was formerly one."[70] Among the people ...

... "the mound of Terah") on the Balih River in Upper Mesopotamia. Its much later attestation, however, in texts of Shalmaneser (III) (ANET, 278f.) calls for cautious identification. Other sites like Reu- perhaps Ra'ilu, an island in the Euphrates near Anat- also appear only from the first millennium. Peleg is supposed to be near the Euphrates and Habur rivers, but the Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible gives no textual reference to support this nor does it date its occurrence as a toponym. (IDB, Vol. 3, 709; Vol. 4, 53). 14. See note 1. 15. ISBE, Vol. ...
... gifts of my portion will satisfy you. But I warn you not to kick in your prosperity and not to become perverse, resisting the commands of God, who satisfies you with the best of His land, and not to forget your God, whom your father Abraham chose when the families of the earth were divided in the days of Peleg. The Lord descended with seventy angels, at their head Michael, and he commanded them to teach the seventy languages unto the seventy families of Noah. The angels did according to the behest of God, and the holy Hebrew language remained only in the house of Shem and Eber, and in the house of their descendant Abraham. ...
