Genesis 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 11:19

And Peleg lived, after he begat Reu, two hundred and nine
years
In all two hundred and thirty nine, little more than half the age of his father:

and begat sons and daughters;
but not named the Arabic writers ^F7 say he begat Melchizedek the priest, and that he died in the month Elul, A. M. 3126; and a Jewish writer ^F8 says he died in the forty eighth year of Abraham.
