Lalu Elisa mengirim seorang utusan kepadanya untuk berkata, “Pergilah dan mandilah tujuh kali di Yordan, maka dagingmu akan pulih kembali seperti semula, dan engkau akan menjadi tahir.”
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Elisha sent him a message” [5:10]. Elisha sent Naaman a message. Tell him that he should wash seven times and immerse himself in the river Jordan and he will be healed. Naaman was angry and said: I thought that the prophet would pray to God for me that I should be healed. There is much better water in the rivers of our land than in the land of Israel. Could I not wash in them and be healed? He went away angry. His servant went to Naaman and said: my lord, the prophet did not give you something difficult for a cure. That is, why do you care about it? Bathing is a small thing.
