6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: 'When you will receive this letter, know that I have sent to you my servant, Naaman, so that you may heal him of his leprosy.'
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his garments, and he said: 'Am I God, so that I could take or give life, or so that this man would send to me to cure a man from his leprosy? Take notice and see that he is seeking occasions against me.'
8 And when Elisha, the man of God, had heard this, specifically, that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent to him, saying: 'Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.'
9 Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, 'Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will receive health, and you will be clean.'
