2 Kings 5:8-15

8It happenedH1961 when ElishaH477 1the manH376 of GodH430 heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had tornH7167 his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 word to the kingH4428, sayingH559, “WhyH4100 have you tornH7167 your clothesH899? NowH4994 let him comeH935 to me, and he shall knowH3045 that thereH3426 is a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.” 9So NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and his chariotsH7393 and stoodH5975 at the doorwayH6607 of the houseH1004 of ElishaH477. 10ElishaH477 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to him, sayingH559, “2GoH1980 and washH7364 in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and your fleshH1320 will be restoredH7725 to you and you will be cleanH2891.” 11But NaamanH5283 was furiousH7107 and wentH1980 away and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I 3thoughtH559, ‘He will surelyH3318 comeH3318 out to me and standH5975 and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 his GodH430, and waveH5130 his handH3027 overH413 the placeH4725 and cureH622 the leperH6879.’ 12Are not 4AbanahH71 and PharparH6554, the riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, betterH2896 thanH4480 allH3605 the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? Could I not washH7364 in them and be cleanH2891?” So he turnedH6437 and 5wentH1980 away in a rageH2534. 136Then his servantsH5650 cameH5066 nearH5066 and spokeH1696 to him and saidH559, “7My fatherH1, had the prophetH5030 toldH1696 you to do some greatH1419 thingH1697, would you not have doneH6213 it? HowH637 muchH637H3588 moreH637H3588 then, whenH3588 he saysH559 to you, ‘WashH7364, and be cleanH2891’?” 14So he wentH3381 downH3381 and dippedH2881 himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in the JordanH3383, according to the wordH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430; and 8his fleshH1320 was restoredH7725 like the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288 and 9he was cleanH2891.

15When he returnedH7725 to the manH376 of GodH430 10with allH3605 his companyH4264, and cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, he saidH559, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, 11I knowH3045 that thereH369 is noH369 GodH430 in allH3605 the earthH776, but in IsraelH3478; so pleaseH4994 12takeH3947 a 13presentH1293 from your servantH5650 nowH6258.”
