2Ki 5:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : Naaman asked for two loads of earth from Israel to take back to Syria. He said he would no longer offer sacrifices to any other gods but only to the Lord . Naaman’s request for earth may have been based on the belief that the God of Israel was especially connected to the land of Israel. While this showed his devotion, it also revealed his limited understanding of God, who is the Lord of all the earth (Exodus 20:24 ). Still, his commitment to worship only the true God was a significant step in his faith.
