Instead of leaving his house to greet his distinguished visitor, Elisha sent a servant to tell Naaman: “You must bathe seven times in the Jordan that your flesh may come back to you; and be clean. ” ​ — 2 Kings 5: 10.
Elīsa neiznāca no mājas, lai pats satiktu ievērojamo viesi, bet sūtīja pie Naāmana savu kalpu, kas tam pateica: ” Ej un mazgājies septiņas reizes Jardānā, tad tava miesa kļūs atkal vesela, un tu būsi šķīsts! ” ( 2. Ķēniņu 5: 10.)
