1. Mosebok 10,25

23 Arams etterkommere var sønnene hans Us, Hul, Geter og Masj.

24 Arpaksjad ble far til Sjelah, og Sjelah var far til Eber.

Eber hadde to sønner: Den ene het Peleg, fordi i hans tid ble jorden delt; hans bror het Joktan.

26 Joktan var far til Almodad, Sjelef, Hasarmavet og Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Usal og Dikla,

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.
