[5:10]  1 tn Heb “will return to you.”

[5:12]  2 tn Heb “Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all of the waters of Israel?” The rhetorical question expects an emphatic “yes” as an answer.

[5:14]  3 tn Heb “according to the word of the man of God.”

[5:14]  4 tn Heb “and his skin was restored, like the skin of a small child.”

[5:13]  4 tn Heb “my father,” reflecting the perspective of each individual servant. To address their master as “father” would emphasize his authority and express their respect. See BDB 3 s.v. אָב and the similar idiomatic use of “father” in 2 Kgs 2:12.

[5:13]  5 tn Heb “a great thing.”

[5:13]  6 tn Heb “would you not do [it]?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course you would.”

[5:13]  7 tn Heb “How much more [when] he said, “Wash and be healed.” The second imperative (“be healed”) states the expected result of obeying the first (‘wash”).
