The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain On v14 Vers. 14, 15. And Salah lived thirty years, and…
Vers. 14, 15. And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber. Literally, the region on the otherside (peran); from rb; to pass over (cf. uJper, Greek; uber, German; over, Saxon). The ancestor of the Hebrews, (Gen_10:21) so called from his descendants having crossed the Euphrates and commenced a southward emigration, or from the circumstance that he or another portion of his posterity remained on the other side. Prof. Lewis thinks that this branch of the Shemites, having lingered so long in the upper country, had not much to do with the tower building on the plain of Shinar. And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years (in all 433 years, or five years less than Arphaxad), and begat sons and daughters.
