Naaman, by the report of a captive maid, is sent to Samaria to be cured of leprosy8. Elisha, sending him to Jordan cures him 15. He refusing Naaman's gifts grants him some of the earth 20. Gehazi, abusing his master's name unto Naaman, is smitten with leprosy But Elisha sent him a messenger Elisha, the prophet of God, chooses not to meet Naaman directly but instead sends a messenger. This action underscores the humility required in approaching God. Elisha's decision to send a messenger rather than meeting Naaman in person can be seen as a test of Naaman's pride and willingness to obey God's instructions without the grandeur he might have expected. Historically, prophets often acted in ways that defied social norms to emphasize that God's ways are not man's ways. saying, 'Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan and your flesh will be restored and you will be clean Go.--Infinitive, equivalent to the imperative. (Comp. 2Kings 3:16; and perhaps 2Kings 4:43.) Wash in (the) Jordan.--This command would make it clear that Naaman was not cured by any external means applied by the prophet. "The Syrians knew as well as the Israelites that the Jordan could not heal leprosy" (Bahr). Naaman was to understand that he was healed by the God of Israel, at His prophet's prayer. (Comp. 2Kings 5:15.) . . . Verse 10. - And Elisha sent a messenger unto him. Elisha asserted the dignity of his office. Naaman was "a great man" (ver. 1), with a high sense of his own importance, and regarded the prophet as very much inferior to himself. He expected to be waited on, courted, to receive every possible attention. Elisha no doubt intended very pointedly to rebuke him by remaining in his house, and communicating with the great man by a messenger. But there is no ground for taxing him with "priestly pride," or even with "impoliteness" on this account. He had to impress upon the Syrian noble the nothingness of wealth and earthly grandeur, and the dignity of the prophetic office. He did not do more than was requisite for these purposes. Saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times. Elisha speaks no doubt, "by the word of the Lord." He is directed to require of Naaman a compliance with a somewhat burdensome order. The nearest point on the course of Jordan was above twenty miles distant from Samaria. Naaman is to go thither, to strip himself, and to plunge into the stream seven times. The directions seem given to test his faith. They may be compared with that of our Lord to the blind man, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam," and, in another point of view, with that given to Joshua (Joshua 6:3-5), and that of Elijah to his servant (1 Kings 18:43). To repeat a formal act six times with- out perceiving any result, and yet to persevere and repeat it a seventh time, requires a degree of faith and trust that men do not often possess. And thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. The scaly leprous scurf shall fall off and reveal clean flesh underneath. Thy body shall be manifestly freed from all defilement.Parallel Commentaries ...
