2 Kings 5:12 in Context — 2 Kings 5

10 Então Eliseu lhe enviou um mensageiro, dizendo: Vai, e lava-te sete vezes no Jordão, e tua carne se te restaurará, e serás limpo.

11 E Naamã se foi irritado, dizendo: Eis que eu dizia para mim: Sairá ele logo, e estando em pé invocará o nome do SENHOR seu Deus, e levantará sua mão, e tocará o lugar, e sarará a lepra.

12 Abana e Farpar, rios de Damasco, não são melhores que todas as águas de Israel? Se me lavar neles, não serei também limpo? E voltou-se, e foi-se irritado.

13 Mas seus criados se chegaram a ele, e falaram-lhe, dizendo: Pai meu, se o profeta te mandasse alguma grande coisa, não a farias? Quanto mais, dizendo-te: Lava-te, e serás limpo?

14 Ele então desceu, e mergulhou sete vezes no Jordão, conforme a palavra do homem de Deus; e sua carne se restaurou como a carne de um menino, e foi limpo.
