Actually, Ron, this question, about the use and meaning of PLG, is right on
topic.

Subject: Re: [b-hebrew] Dividing the Earth


While Robert's view certainly does have merit, I would only suggest that 
the apportioning of the earth, the dividing of languages, and the 
physical dividing of the earth are all in view in the verse. 

My final question is why does the verb PLG so often refer to watery 
divisions?  My suggestion is that the dry land was split by streams of 
water.  Does the text not support that as a possibility?

You may answer off list, since I know we are on thin ice here.

Kudos to the moderators.
