Once more he measured 1,750 feet and led me through the water, which was waist deep. 5 Again he measured 1,750 feet and it was a river I could not cross, for the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me,“Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I had returned, I noticed a vast number of trees on the banks of the river, on both sides. 8 He said to me,“These waters go out toward the eastern region and flow down into the rift valley; when they enter the Dead Sea, where the sea is stagnant, the waters become fresh. 9 Every living creature which swarms where the river flows will live; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there.

    1Elisha Heals a Syrian General Now Naaman, the commander of the king of Syria’s army, was esteemed and respected by his master, for through him the LORD had given Syria military victories. But this great warrior had a skin disease.

    2Raiding parties went out from Syria and took captive from the land of Israel a young girl, who became a servant to Naaman’s wife.

    3She told her mistress,“If only my master were in the presence of the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his skin disease.”

    4Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.

    5The king of Syria said,“Go! I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten suits of clothes.

    6He brought the letter to the king of Israel. It read:“This is a letter of introduction for my servant Naaman, whom I have sent to be cured of his skin disease.”

    7When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said,“Am I God? Can I kill or restore life? Why does he ask me to cure a man of his skin disease? Certainly you must see that he is looking for an excuse to fight me!”

    8When Elisha the prophet heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent this message to the king,“Why did you tear your clothes? Send him to me so he may know there is a prophet in Israel.”

    9So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood in the doorway of Elisha’s house.

    10Elisha sent out a messenger who told him,“Go and wash seven times in the Jordan; your skin will be restored and you will be healed.”

    11Naaman went away angry. He said,“Look, I thought for sure he would come out, stand there, invoke the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the area, and cure the skin disease.

    12The rivers of Damascus, the Abana and Pharpar, are better than any of the waters of Israel! Could I not wash in them and be healed?” So he turned around and went away angry.

    13His servants approached and said to him,“O master, if the prophet had told you to do some difficult task, you would have been willing to do it. It seems you should be happy that he simply said,“Wash and you will be healed.”

    35Elisha went back and walked around in the house. Then he got up on the bed again and bent down over him. The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
