I wysłał doń Elisza posłańca, mówiąc: Idź a wykąp się siedmkroć w Jordanie, a uzdrowi się ciało twoje, a będziesz czysty.
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.
