Genesis 10:3

1 This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.

5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

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.
