What does Genesis 11:22 mean?

The line from Noah to Abram—later to be renamed Abraham—follows through Shem to Arpachshad to Shelah to Eber to Peleg to Reu to Serug and now to Nahor, Abram's grandfather. The length of a typical human life is drastically shrinking, compared to the era prior to the flood. There is a particularly large decrease seen after the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9), which is associated with the generation of Peleg (Genesis 11:17–19).
