2 Kings 5:10-14 and Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying,––Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou clean.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ and Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying,––Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou clean. ¹¹ But Naaman was wroth, and went away,––and said––Lo! I thought, Unto me, will he, come right out, and take his stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand towards the spot, and so set free the leper. ¹² Are not, Abanah and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not bathe, in them, and be clean? So he turned, and went away in a rage. ¹³ Then drew near his servants, and spake unto him, and said––My father! if, some great thing, the prophet had commanded thee, wouldst thou not have done it? then, how much rather, when he hath said unto thee, Bathe and be clean? ¹⁴ Then went he down, and dipped himself in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
