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 Gehazi then went and stood before his master. Elisha said to Gehazi, "Where did you come from, Gehazi?" "Your servant didn't go anywhere," Gehazi replied.

26 Elisha said to him, "Wasn't my heart going along with you when the man got off his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept silver, clothes, olive trees, vineyards, sheep, cattle, or male and female servants?

27 Naaman's skin disease will now cling to you and to your descendants forever!" And Gehazi left Elisha's presence, flaky like snow with skin disease.
