2 Kings 5:12 in Context — 2 Kings 5
10 Élisée lui fit dire par un messager: Va, et lave-toi sept fois dans le Jourdain; ta chair redeviendra saine, et tu seras pur.
11 Naaman fut irrité, et il s’en alla, en disant: Voici, je me disais: Il sortira vers moi, il se présentera lui-même, il invoquera le nom de l’Éternel, son Dieu, il agitera sa main sur la place et guérira le lépreux.
12 Les fleuves de Damas, l’Abana et le Parpar, ne valent-ils pas mieux que toutes les eaux d’Israël? Ne pourrais-je pas m’y laver et devenir pur? Et il s’en retournait et partait avec fureur.
13 Mais ses serviteurs s’approchèrent pour lui parler, et ils dirent: Mon père, si le prophète t’eût demandé quelque chose de difficile, ne l’aurais-tu pas fait? Combien plus dois-tu faire ce qu’il t’a dit: Lave-toi, et tu seras pur!
14 Il descendit alors et se plongea sept fois dans le Jourdain, selon la parole de l’homme de Dieu; et sa chair redevint comme la chair d’un jeune enfant, et il fut pur.
