以利沙打發一個使者，對乃縵說：「你去在約旦河中沐浴七回，你的肉就必復原，而得潔淨。」 於是乃縵下去，照着神人的話，在約旦河裏沐浴七回；他的肉復原，好像小孩子的肉，他就潔淨了。 乃縵帶着一切跟隨他的人，回到神人那裏，站在他面前，說：「如今我知道，除了以色列之外，普天下沒有上帝。現在求你收點僕人的禮物。」 以利沙說：「我指着所事奉永生的耶和華起誓，我必不受。」乃縵再三地求他，他卻不受。 列王紀下 5:10, 14-16
Elisha sent a man with a message to Naaman. ‘Go to the river Jordan. Wash yourself 7 times in the river. Then your skin will be clean. You will not have leprosy.’ So Naaman went down to the river Jordan. He washed himself in it 7 times. That was what the man of God had asked him to do. And Naaman’s skin became well again. It became as clean as a young child’s skin. Then Naaman and all his servants went back to the man of God. Naaman stood in front of the man of God and said, ‘Now I know that there is no God in the whole world except the one in Israel. Now accept a gift from your servant Naaman.’ But Elisha answered him, ‘As surely as the Lord is alive, I will not accept a gift. I am the Lord’s servant.’ Naaman asked him many times to accept a gift but Elisha refused. 2 Kings 5:10, 14-16
