Genesis 10:21-32 and Matthew 8:1-4 (NIV)


21  Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
22  The sons of Shem:  Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
23   The sons of Aram:  Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshek.
24  Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber.
25  Two sons were born to Eber:  One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
26  Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27  Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28  Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29  Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
30  The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
31  These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
32  These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.

Matthew 8:1-4
1    When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him.
2    A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3    Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
4    Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
