And his servants came near, and spake unto
him and said, My father, if the prophet
had bid thee do some great thing wouldst
thou not have done it? How much rather
then, when he saith unto thee, wash and
be clean? Then went he down and dipped
himself seven times in Jordan, according
to the saying of the man of God: and
his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a
little child, and he was clean.-And he re-
turned to the man of God, he and all his
company, and came and stood before him :
and he said: Behold, now I know, that
there is no God in all the earth but in Is-
rael: now therefore, I pray thee, take a
blessing of thy servant. But he said, As
the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I
will receive none. And he urged him to
take it; but he refused.-And Nauman
said, Shall there not, then, I pray thee,
be given to thy servant two mules burden
of earth? For thy servant will hence-
forth offer neither burnt-offering nor sa-
crifice, unto any other God, but unto
the Lord
