Genesis 36:5

3 and Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.

4 And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath gave birth to Reuel,

and Oholibamah gave birth to Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

6 Later, Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the people of his household, along with his livestock, all his other animals, and all the property he had acquired in Canaan, and he moved to a land far away from his brother Jacob.

7 For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land where they stayed could not support them because of their livestock.

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.
