Sacred Geography of Territorial Gods: Prophet Elisha's Healing of Syrian Commander Naaman

In the mid-9th century BC, the prophet Elisha's healing of Syrian commander Naaman highlighted the ancient Near Eastern belief in territorial deities. People viewed gods as "cosmic landlords" whose power and presence were physically bound to specific political borders, cities, or micro-topography. Crossing a border meant entering another god's domain, making foreign worship functionally impossible.
To navigate these spiritual boundaries, worshipers created portable sacred spaces by carrying holy dirt, as Naaman did with Israelite soil to worship Yahweh in Syria. This narrative marks a key theological transition toward monolatry.
