Targoum sur Chroniques 1 1:19
וּלְעֵ֥בֶר יֻלַּ֖ד שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֑ים שֵׁ֣ם הָאֶחָ֞ד פֶּ֗לֶג כִּ֤י בְיָמָיו֙ נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן׃
A Eber il naquit deux fils. Le nom de l’un était Péleg, parce que de son temps fut partagée la terre; et le nom de son frère: Yoktân.
Targum of I Chronicles
And Ever had two sons. The name of one was Peleg, because in his days the inhabitants of the world were split [itpligu] to their languages, and the name of the other was Yoqtan since in his day the years of humanity began to diminish [itqta'a] from on account of their sins.
