It's always a delight for Hebrew to wink at a subtle meaning in a biblical story.

It is a "little girl" who sends the great and mighty Naaman to see the prophet and be washed in the Jordan. He comes forth from the waters with skin restored like the "flesh of a little child."

In Hebrew, the pun is clear. The “little girl” (na’arah qetanah) leads to the great man having skin like a “little child” (na’ar qaton).

The greatest becomes like the least, the first like the last, in these cleansing waters.- Chad Bird
