What does Genesis 11:19 mean?

After fathering Reu, Peleg lived another 209 years and had other children. Adding the numbers together, Peleg lived to be 239 years old. We notice that the lifespans continue to decrease dramatically the farther we move from the flood. Some have speculated the conditions of the environment on the earth became less ideal for long lifespans after the flood. Others see Genesis 6:3 as an indication that God acted directly to shorten human life—most likely for the same reason as His division of languages at Babel. This was to limit man's capacity for evil (Genesis 6:5; Genesis 11:6–7). Peleg's life is notably shorter than his father's, as are those of the generations which follow.
