1: Now Naaman,H5283 commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of the kingH4428 of Syria,H0758 wasH1961 a manH0376 greatH1419 in the eyesH6440 of his master,H0113 andH5375 honorable,H6440 becauseH3588 had givenH5414 YahwehH3068 victoryH8668 to Syria.H0758 And a manH0376 of He wasH1961 mightyH1368 valor,H2428 [but] a leper.H6879

2: And SyriaH0758 had gone outH3318 on raids,H1416 and had brought back captiveH7617 from the landH0776 of IsraelH3478 a girl-H5291 youngH6996 and she waitedH1961 onH6440 wifeH0802 of Naaman.H5283

3: And she saidH0559 toH0413 her mistress,H1404 if onlyH0305 my master [were]H0113 withH6440 the prophetH5030 who [is]H0834 in Samaria!H8111 thenH0227 he would healH0622 himH0853 of his leprosy.H6883

4: And [Naaman] went in,H0935 and toldH5046 his master,H0113 saying,H0559 Like thisH2063 and like thisH2063 saidH1696 the girlH5291 who [is]H0834 from the landH0776 of Israel.H3478

5: And said,H0559 the kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 go,H1980 now,H0935 and I will sendH7971 a letterH5612 toH0413 the kingH4428 of Israel.H3478 So he departed,H1980 and tookH3947 with himH3027 tenH6235 talentsH3603 of silver,H3701 and sixH8337 thousandH0505 [shekels] of gold,H2091 and tenH6235 changesH2487 of clothing.H0899

6: And he broughtH0935 the letterH5612 toH0413 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 which said,H0559 nowH6258 when comesH0935 letterH5612 thisH2088 to youH0413 be advised,H2009 that I have sentH7971 to youH0413 -H0853 NaamanH5283 my servantH5650 that you may heal himH0622 of his leprosy.H6883

7: And it came to pass,H1961 when readH7121 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 -H0853 the letter,H5612 that he toreH7167 his clothes,H0899 and said,H0559 [am] God,H0430 IH0589 to killH4191 and make alive,H2421 thatH3588 this [man]H2088 sendsH7971 to meH0413 to heal himH0622 a manH0376 of his leprosy?H6883 uponH3588 thusH0389 consider,H3045 please,H4994 and seeH7200 howH3588 seeks a quarrelH0579 heH1931

8: So it wasH1961 when heardH8085 ElishaH0477 the manH0376 of GodH0430 thatH3588 had tornH7167 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 -H0853 his clothes,H0899 that he sentH7971 toH0413 the king,H4428 saying,H0559 whyH4100 have you tornH7167 your clothes?H0899 let him comeH0935 pleaseH4994 to meH0413 and he shall knowH3045 thatH3588 there isH3426 a prophetH5030 in Israel.H3478

9: And wentH0935 NaamanH5283 with his horsesH5483 and chariot,H7393 and he stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of houseH1004 of Elisha.H0477

10: And sentH7971 to himH0413 ElishaH0477 a messengerH4397 saying,H0559 goH1980 and washH7364 sevenH7651 times,H6471 in the JordanH3383 and shall be restoredH7725 your fleshH1320 and [you shall] be clean.H2891

11: But became furious,H7107 NaamanH5283 and went away,H1980 and said,H0559 indeed,H2009 I said,H0559 to myselfH0413 He will come out [to me]H3318 surelyH3318 and stand,H5975 and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of YahwehH3068 his God,H0430 and waveH5130 his handH3027 overH0413 the place,H4725 and healH0622 the leprosy.H6879

12: [Are] notH3808 betterH2896 the AbanahH0071 and the Pharpar,H6554 the riversH5104 of Damascus,H1834 than allH3605 the watersH4325 of Israel?H3478 Could notH3808 I washH7364 and be clean?H2891 so he turnedH6437 and went awayH1980 in a rage.H2534

13: And came near,H5066 his servantsH5650 and spokeH1696 to himH0413 and said,H0559 My father,H0001 something,H1697 greatH1419 the prophetH5030 [if] had told [to do]H1696 youH0413 would notH3808 you have done [it]H6213 then how much moreH0637 whenH3588 he saysH0559 to youH0413 Wash,H7364 and be clean?H2891

14: so he went down,H3381 and dippedH2881 in the Jordan,H3383 sevenH7651 timesH6471 according to the sayingH1697 of the manH0376 of God-H0430 and was restoredH7725 his fleshH1320 like the fleshH1320 of a child,H5288 littleH6996 and he was clean.H2891

15: And he returnedH7725 toH0413 the manH0376 of God,H0430 heH1931 and allH3605 his aides,H4264 and came,H0935 and stoodH5975 before himH6440 and he said,H0559 indeed,H2009 nowH4994 I knowH3045 thatH3588 [there is] noH0369 GodH0430 in allH3605 the earth,H0776 forH3588 exceptH0518 in Israel-H3478 therefore nowH6258 takeH3947 please,H4994 a giftH1293 fromH0853 your servant.H5650

16: But he said,H0559 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 whomH0834 I stand,H5975 beforeH6440 nothingH0518 I will receiveH3947 and he urgedH6484 to take [it]H3947 but he refused.H3985

17: So said,H0559 NaamanH5283 and if notH3808 let be givenH5414 please,H4994 your servantH5650 burdenH4853 twoH6776 mule-loadsH6505 of earth?H0127 forH3588 noH3808 will offerH6213 longerH5750 your servantH5650 either burnt offeringH5930 or sacrificeH2077 to gods,H0430 otherH0312 forH3588 butH0518 to Yahweh.H3068

18: Yet in thingH1697 thisH2088 may pardonH5545 YahwehH3068 your servant,H5650 when goesH0935 my masterH0113 into the templeH1004 of RimmonH7417 to worshipH7812 there,H8033 and heH1931 leansH8172 onH5921 my hand,H3027 and I bow downH7812 in the templeH1004 of Rimmon,H7417 when I bow downH7812 in the templeH1004 of Rimmon,H7417 may pardonH5545 uponH4994 YahwehH3068 your servantH5650 in thingH1697 this.H2088

19: And he saidH0559 goH1980 in peace.H7965 So he departedH1980 from himH0853 someH3530 a short distance.H0776

20: But said,H0559 Gehazi,H1522 the servantH5288 of ElishaH0477 the manH0376 of God,H0430 Look,H2009 has sparedH2820 my masterH0113 -H0853 NaamanH5283 Syrian,H0761 thisH2088 while not receivingH3947 from his handsH3027 -H0853 whatH0834 he brought.H0935 [as] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 forH3588 but,H0518 I will runH7323 after himH0310 and takeH3947 from himH0853 something.H3972

21: So pursuedH7291 GehaziH1522 afterH0310 Naaman.H5283 And when saw [him]H7200 NaamanH5283 runningH7323 after himH0310 and he got downH5307 fromH5921 the chariotH4818 to meet himH7125 and said,H0559 [Is] all well?H7965

22: and he said,H0559 all [is] well.H7965 My masterH0113 has sent meH7971 saying,H0559 indeed,H2009 just nowH6258 [is] thisH2088 have comeH0935 to meH0413 twoH8147 young menH5288 from the mountainsH2022 of EphraimH0669 of the sonsH1121 of the prophets-H5030 giveH5414 please,H4994 a talentH3603 of silver,H3701 and twoH8147 changesH2487 of garments'.H0899

23: So said,H0559 NaamanH5283 please,H2974 takeH3947 two talents.H3603 And he urgedH6555 and boundH6887 two talentsH3603 of silverH3701 in twoH8147 bags,H2754 and twoH8147 with changesH2487 of garments,H0899 and handed [them]H5414 toH0413 twoH8147 of his servants-H5288 and they carried [them]H5375 on ahead of him.H6440

24: And when he cameH0935 toH0413 the citadel,H6076 and he took [them]H3947 from their hand,H3027 and stored [them] awayH6485 in the house,H1004 then go,H7971 he letH0853 the menH0582 and they departed.H1980

25: And heH1931 went in,H0935 and stoodH5975 beforeH0413 his master.H0113 And saidH0559 to himH0413 ElishaH0477 where [did you go].H0575 Gehazi?H1522 and he said,H0559 notH3808 did goH1980 Your servantH5650 whereH0575 and where.H0575

26: And he saidH0559 to himH0413 notH3808 my heartH3820 did go [with you]H1980 whenH0834 turned backH2015 the manH0376 fromH5921 his chariotH4818 to meet youH7125 [Is it] timeH6256 to receiveH3947 -H0853 money,H3701 and to receiveH3947 clothing,H0899 and olive groves,H2132 and vineyards,H3754 and sheep,H6629 and oxen,H1241 and male,H5650 and maidservants?H8198

27: therefore the leprosyH6883 of NaamanH5283 shall clingH1692 and your descendantsH2233 forever.H5769 And he went outH3318 from his presenceH6440 leprousH6879 [as white] as snow.H7950
