What does Genesis 11:18 mean?

The line from Noah to Abraham follows through Shem to Arpachshad to Shelah to Eber to Peleg and now to Reu. The name Reu appears only here in the Old Testament, though it may be a variation on other names. This verse is otherwise interesting for mentioning Peleg, a name associated with the division of humanity at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10:25; Genesis 11:1–9).
