2 Kings 5:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 5:27

The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and
unto thy seed for ever
As long as any of his race remained; as through his covetousness he had his money, so for his punishment he should have his disease:

and he went out from his presence;
as one ashamed and confounded, and discharged from his master's service:

a leper [as white] as snow;
a leprosy of which colour is the worst, and is incurable.

2 Kings 5:27 In-Context

25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you go, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere."

26 Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?

27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever." And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.
