Reu, mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis 11, 1Chronicles 1, and Luke 3, was the son of Peleg and an ancestor of Abraham. He was born when Peleg was 30 years old (Gen.11.18) and lived for a total of 239 years (Gen.11.20-21). Reu fathered Serug at the age of 32 and lived an additional 207 years, having other sons and daughters (Gen.11.19-21). He is listed as one of the descendants of Shem, the son of Noah, and is part of the lineage that traces from Adam to Abraham, and ultimately to Jesus Christ (Luk.3.35). The name Reu means "friend" or "associate" in Hebrew. His inclusion in the genealogies emphasizes the continuity of the godly line from which the Messiah would eventually come.
