Genesis 10:23

21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.

25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
