Gen 10:25
  Interlinear
Two sons were born to Eber:
The name of one was Peleg [similar to the word for "divided"], for in his days the earth was divided (Hebr. pilag), and his brother's name was Joktan.
[Peleg's lineage continues in Gen. 11:16–26 and leads to Abraham's father Terah. Peleg means division. It could very well be that what is written here, that the earth was divided in his days, refers to the division of Pangea into the different continents with oceans between them, as we know them today. In that case, this division occurred about 100 years after the flood. See also the end of verse 32.]
