Ento, se chegaram a ele os seus oficiais e lhe disseram: Meu pai, se te houvesse dito o profeta alguma coisa difcil, acaso, no a farias? Quanto mais, j que apenas te disse: Lava-te e ficars limpo.

Ento chegaram-se a ele os seus servos, e lhe falaram, e disseram: Meu pai, se o profeta te dissesse alguma grande coisa, porventura no a farias? Quanto mais, dizendo-te ele: Lava-te, e ficars purificado.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And his servant came near, and spake unto him, and said, my father,.... Or my lord, as the Targum; this being not a familiar and affectionate expression, but a term of honour, reverence, and submission:

if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? something that was hard and difficult to done, or painful to bear, to go through some severe operation, or disagreeable course of physic:

how much rather then when he saith to thee, wash, and be clean? which is so easy to be done; though Abarbinel observes it may be interpreted, the prophet has bid thee do a great thing, and which is wonderful; for though he has said, wash and be clean, consider it a great thing, and which is a wonderful mystery, and therefore do not despise his cure.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 5:13. My father — A title of the highest respect and affection.

Had bid thee do some great thing — If the prophet had appointed thee to do something very difficult in itself, and very expensive to thee, wouldst thou not have done it? With much greater reason shouldst thou do what will occupy little time, be no expense, and is easy to be performed.
