What does Genesis 11:23 mean?

After fathering Nahor, Serug lived another 200 years and had other children. Adding the numbers together, Serug lived to be 230 years old. Generations immediately following the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9), such as those of Peleg (Genesis 10:25; 11:6–7), will live half as long as their predecessors. Their children will live even less than that. This culminates in the generations of people such as Abram and Sarai—later renamed Abraham and Sarah—whose lives stretch to the same general length we see in the modern world.
