And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu . Friend (cf. of God, or of men), or friendship ; from a root signifying to pasture, to tend, to care for. Bochart traces his descendants in the great Nisaean plain Ragan (Judith 1:6), situated on the confines of Armenia and Media, and having, according to Strabo, a city named Ragae or Ragiae. And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years , and begat sons and daughters.
