What does Genesis 11:21 mean?

After fathering Serug, Reu lived another 207 years and had many other children. Adding the numbers together, Reu lived to be 239 years old. This is a noticeably shorter life than his grandfathers, such as Shelah and Eber (Genesis 11:15–17). It's also drastically less than early men such as Adam and Seth (Genesis 5). This trend will continue until the era of Abram, when the definition of "old age" reaches the same general outlines we see in the modern world.
