BLOOD*, Flow of

1. Vaginal discharge such as that during menstruation. Leviticus 15 (RV · LV · Read together) contains social and sanitary laws that God gave to Moses concerning genital discharges. A woman with vaginal bleeding was considered ceremonially unclean during bleeding and for seven days afterward. She could not go to the tabernacle or temple for worship while unclean or mingle with crowds in the street or market. Anyone touching her or her clothes, bed, chair, and the like was also ceremonially unclean (Lv 15:19-28 (RV · LV · Read together)). Sexual intercourse was not allowed while the woman was ceremonially unclean. Seven days after her bleeding stopped, a woman would present to the priest two turtledoves or young pigeons as offerings to atone for the time of her uncleanness (Lv 15:29-30 (RV · LV · Read together)).

Jesus’ miraculous healing of a woman who had been hemorrhaging (slowly or intermittently) for 12 years was recorded in three of the four Gospels (Mt 9:20-22 (RV · LV · Read together); Mk 5:25-34 (RV · LV · Read together); Lk 8:43-48 (RV · LV · Read together)). If her bleeding was vaginal, the years of ceremonial uncleanness and separation must have been particularly distressing for her. Besides being anxious and uncomfortable, she would also have been unable to bear children. Further, she had “suffered a great deal from many doctors” and “had spent everything she had to pay for them, but she had gotten no better” (Mk 5:26 (RV · LV · Read together)). In despair she ignored the rules about uncleanness and made her way through a crowd to touch Jesus. When she touched him, the bleeding stopped immediately and permanently.

22 But the Yaʸsous having_been_turned and having_seen her said:
Be_having_courage, daughter, the faith of_you has_healed you.
And the woman was_healed from the that hour.
