Genesis 22:21

19 Abraham went back to his servants, and they got up and set out together for Beersheba. And Abraham settled in Beersheba.

20 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:

Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

23 And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

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.
