And Naaman the commander of the army of the king of Syria was a man, a mighty one, before his lord, for Jehovah had given deliverance to Syria by him; and the man was a mighty one of strength, but leprous.
If we say, We shall go into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit here, then we shall die. Therefore now, come and we will fall into the camp of Syria. If they keep us alive, we shall live. And if they cause us to die, then we die.
Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, as Jehovah has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Why do we sit still? Gather yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For Jehovah our God has made us silent there, and He has made us drink water of poison because we have sinned against Jehovah.
And Jehovah said to Moses, If spitting her father had but spat in her face, should she not be humiliated seven days? She shall be shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterward she shall be brought in.
