Summary

Genesis 11:15 lists the descendants of Shem, one of Noah's sons, tracing his lineage to Eber. This genealogy serves to establish the historical roots of various nations and peoples. It also sets the stage for the narrative of God's covenant with Abraham in the following chapters, showing the continuity of God's plan through generations. The mention of Eber is significant as his name is linked to the term 'Hebrew,' which becomes synonymous with the Israelites, God's chosen people. Thus, this verse lays the foundation for the unfolding story of God's redemptive work in history.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu. Or Ragau, as he is called in the Septuagint version, the letter being pronounced as a "G", as in Gaza and Gomorrah: he is supposed to give name to a large plain called Ragau, near Assyria, about Tigris and Euphrates,"Even in those days king Nabuchodonosor made war with king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is the plain in the borders of Ragau.'' (Judith 1:5)and to Ragis in Media,"In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,'' (Tobit 4:1)where Strabo (f) makes mention of a city of the same name.
