Le territoire du peuple cananéen s’étendait depuis Sidon jusqu’à Gaza dans la direction de Gherar; jusqu’à Lécha, dans la direction de Sodome, Gomorrhe, Adma et Ceboïm.

A Héber il naquit deux fils. Le nom de l’un: Péleg, parce que de son temps la terre fut partagée; et le nom de son frère: Yoktân.
