Jul 14, 2023 · Answer. The phrase corners of the earth is used several places in the Bible as a figurative term for the outermost borders or most distant parts of the earth. Job’s friend Elihu describes the voice of the Lord as thunder and lightning: “Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. Under the whole ...

The interesting statement made about the dividing of the world after the Flood has been subject to several interpretations. As to the exact meaning of the passage, we cannot be certain. The Bible speaks of the earth being divided. To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided (Genesis 10:25).
Jan 4, 2022 · In 1 Chronicles 1:19 it is noted that the earth was divided in the days of Peleg: “Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan” (see also verse 25). The detail that “the earth was divided” has caused some to speculate about the exact nature of the division.

In today’s secular society, people have been taught as fact that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent that spilt apart and then the resultant continents drifted over millions of years into their present positions. One primary piece of conclusive evidence usually presented to support this idea is the jigsaw-puzzle fit of Euro...
The Context of Genesis 10
A careful search of the context of Genesis 10:25 clearly reveals that the division of the earth refers to the dividing up of the post-Flood people on the basis of languages and families, and moving them into different geographical locations. In fact, all of Genesis10 is dedicated to dividing up Noah’s family into its three major divisions based on Noah’s three sons and their families, and then to further list the sub-family groups. Because these genealogical lists encompassed all the people o...
Another Flood!
Let’s stop and consider for a moment what would be the effect of the break-up of a supercontinent followed by the sprinting of the new continents into their present positions. In late 2004, there was an earthquake in the eastern Indian Ocean, resulting in movements of up to 15 or more feet along faults. The energy of the earthquake was transmitted through the water above, producing an enormous tsunami that devastated coastlines all around the Indian Ocean basin, killing more than 220,000 peop...
There is also a major geographical flaw with the claim that the continents split apart in the days of Peleg. The description of the Flood of Noah’s day in Genesis 8says that on day 150 of that global, year-long event the ark ran aground in the mountains of Ararat. We read in verses 3–4: Why is this so significant? The mountains of Ararat should not...
There are numerous evidences that support the contention that the pre-Flood supercontinent split and the resultant continents shifted apart catastrophically during the Flood. Several of these are highlighted below.
Though continental division and shifting in the days of Peleg appears feasible from a superficial reading of Genesis10:25 in isolation, this concept has some major problems associated with it for the following reasons: 1. When Genesis 10:25is read within the context of the whole chapter, the four other verses (5, 18, 20, and 32) speaking of the div...
1. Objection: “To start with, the Hebrew word for ‘earth’ in Genesis 10:25, 10:32, and 11:1 is Hebrew #776 (erets) in the Strong’s Concordance, which says this word means earth, field, ground, land and world. . . . In fact, the clear meaning of this Hebrew word for ‘earth’ . . . is a very strong indication that the Peleg reference has to do with ac...

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
