2 Kings 5:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:27

The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and
unto thy seed for ever
As long as any of his race remained; as through his covetousness he had his money, so for his punishment he should have his disease:

and he went out from his presence;
as one ashamed and confounded, and discharged from his master's service:

a leper [as white] as snow;
a leprosy of which colour is the worst, and is incurable.

2 Kings 5:27 In-Context

25 He went in, and stood before his master, and Eli'sha said to him, "Where have you been, Geha'zi?" And he said, "Your servant went nowhere."
26 But he said to him, "Did I not go with you in spirit when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?
27 Therefore the leprosy of Na'aman shall cleave to you, and to your descendants for ever." So he went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
