BRAGADAYJAH 1073
The Everlasting Curse of Whiteness
so then Gehazi ran after Naaman, and when Naaman saw him coming, he alighted his chariots and asked him if anything was wrong. And Gehazi said all was well. But said he, “My master has sent me to ask you if you would give a talent of silver and two changes of clothes for the sons of the prophets. And Naaman told him he would be happy to give double that amount. So he took, two talents of silver and two changes of clothes in two bags and laid them upon two of his servants and sent them with Gehazi. And he led them to a certain house where he took the gifts from the two servants, and sent them back to Naaman after which he hid the booty there.  Then he went and stood before Elisha. And Elisha asked him where he went and he replied and said he had not gone anywhere. And Elisha asked him if he did not know his heart went with him. That he was there with him when Naaman came down off his chariot to meet him. And Elisha asked him. “Is this the time to receive money, and garments, and oliveyards and vineyards and sheep and oxen and manservants and maidservants? The leprosy, therefore, of Naaman shall come upon thee and unto thy children and thy seed forever.”  And Gehazi went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
