2 Kings 5:8-14

8Now it 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 did you tearH7167 your clothesH899? JustH4994 have him comeH935 to me, and he shall learnH3045 that thereH3426 isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.” 9So NaamanH5283 cameH935 with his horsesH5483 and his chariotsH7393, and stoodH5975 at the doorwayH6607 of Elisha’sH477 houseH1004. 10And ElishaH477 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 beH2891 cleanH2891.” 11But NaamanH5283 wasH7107 furiousH7107 and wentH1980 away, and he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I 3thoughtH559, ‘He will certainlyH3318 comeH3318 outH3318 to me, and standH5975 and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 his GodH430, and waveH5130 his handH3027 overH413 the siteH4725 and cureH622 the 4leprosyH6879.’ 12Are 5AbanahH71 and PharparH6554, the riversH5104 of DamascusH1834, not betterH2896 thanH4480 allH3605 the watersH4325 of IsraelH3478? Could I not washH7364 in them and beH2891 cleanH2891?” So he turnedH6437 and 6wentH1980 away in a rageH2534. 137Then his servantsH5650 approachedH5066 and spokeH1696 to him, 8sayingH559, “9My 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 beH2891 cleanH2891’?” 14So he wentH3381 downH3381 and dippedH2881 himself in the JordanH3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471, in accordance with the wordH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430; and 10his fleshH1320 was restoredH7725 like the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288, and 11he wasH2891 cleanH2891.
