10:25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg because in his days the earth was divided, ¹  and his brother’s name was Joktan.

Kejadian 10:32

10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations, and from these the nations spread ²  over the earth after the flood.

Kisah Para Rasul 17:26

17:26 From one man ³  he made every nation of the human race ⁴  to inhabit the entire earth, ⁵  determining their set times ⁶  and the fixed limits of the places where they would live, ⁷ 

[10:25]  ¹ tn The expression “the earth was divided” may refer to dividing the land with canals, but more likely it anticipates the division of languages at Babel (Gen 11). The verb פָּלָג (palag, “separate, divide”) is used in Ps 55:9 for a division of languages.

[10:32]  ² tn Or “separated.”

[17:26]  ³ sn The one man refers to Adam (the word “man” is understood).

[17:26]  ⁴ tn Or “mankind.” BDAG 276 s.v. ἔθνος 1 has “every nation of humankind Ac 17:26.”

[17:26]  ⁵ tn Grk “to live over all the face of the earth.”

[17:26]  ⁶ tn BDAG 884-85 s.v. προστάσσω has “(οἱ) προστεταγμένοι καιροί (the) fixed times Ac 17:26” here, but since the following phrase is also translated “fixed limits,” this would seem redundant in English, so the word “set” has been used instead.

[17:26]  ⁷ tn Grk “the boundaries of their habitation.” L&N 80.5 has “fixed limits of the places where they would live” for this phrase.
