*
And Eli '
sha sent a messenger to him ,
saying , "
Go and wash in the Jordan seven times ,
and your flesh shall be restored ,
and you shall be clean ."
*
But Na '
aman was angry ,
and went away ,
saying , "
Behold ,
I thought that he would surely come out to me ,
and stand ,
and call on the name of the LORD his God ,
and wave his hand over the place ,
and cure the leper .
*
Are not Aba '
na and Pharpar ,
the rivers of Damascus ,
better than all the waters of Israel ?
Could I not wash in them ,
and be clean ?"
So he turned and went away in a rage .
*
But his servants came near and said to him , "
My father ,
if the prophet had commanded you to do some great thing ,
would you not have done it ?
How much rather ,
then ,
when he says to you , `
Wash ,
and be clean '?"
*
So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan ,
according to the word of the man of God ;
and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child ,
and he was clean .
