2 Reyes 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:10

And Elisha sent a messenger unto him
Or returned an answer by Naaman's messenger; he did not go out to him, choosing to be retired, as he commonly did; and being perhaps employed in prayer for the cure; and it may be also to show his contempt of or little regard he had to worldly grandeur and honour, as well as to mortify the pride of Naaman:

saying, go and wash in Jordan seven times;
so, according to the law of the cleansing the leper, he was to be sprinkled seven times, and on the seventh day his flesh was to be bathed or dipped all over in water, which is meant by washing here, ( Leviticus 14:7 Leviticus 14:9 )

and thy flesh shall come again to thee;
which was eaten and consumed by the disease on him:

and thou shalt be clean;
freed from this pollution, or filthy disease, with which he was defiled; for a leper was reckoned unclean, ( Leviticus 13:3 ) .

2 Reyes 5:10 In-Context

8 Y al oír Eliseo, el hombre de Dios, que el rey de Israel había rasgado sus vestidos, envió aviso al rey diciendo: ¿Por qué has rasgado tus vestidos? Que venga él a mí ahora, y sabrá que hay profeta en Israel.
9 Vino, pues, Naamán con sus caballos y con su carro, y se paró a la entrada de la casa de Eliseo.
10 Y Eliseo le envió un mensajero, diciendo: Ve y lávate en el Jordán siete veces, y tu carne se te restaurará, y quedarás limpio.
11 Pero Naamán se enojó, y se iba diciendo: He aquí, yo pensé: "Seguramente él vendrá a mí, y se detendrá e invocará el nombre del SEÑOR su Dios, moverá su mano sobre la parte enferma y curará la lepra."
12 ¿No son el Abaná y el Farfar, ríos de Damasco, mejor que todas las aguas de Israel? ¿No pudiera yo lavarme en ellos y ser limpio? Y dio la vuelta, y se fue enfurecido.
