אִשָּׁ֜ה דָּוָ֗ה

woman/wife menstruating

This expression does not refer to physical sickness but rather to a woman’s experience of normal menstruation. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider stating the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in [15:33](../15/33.md). Alternate translation: [a woman who is experiencing her normal menstruation]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־ מְקֹרָ֣הּ הֶֽעֱרָ֔ה וְהִ֕יא גִּלְּתָ֖ה אֶת־ מְק֣וֹר דָּמֶ֑יהָ

DOM DOM DOM DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_man which/who lies_with DOM woman/wife menstruating and,he_will_uncover DOM nakedness_of,her DOM spring_of,her exposed and=she uncovered DOM source_of her_blood(s)_of,of and,they_will_be_cut_off both_of=them from,the_midst_of their_people_of,of )

The expression her flow and the fountain of her blood refer to a woman’s genitals during her normal menstruation. Similar to the euphemism “to uncover one’s nakedness,” uncovering a woman’s genitals during menstruation is thought to bring shame on both her and the man involved. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he has exposed her genitals during her normal menstruation and so shamed her, and she has uncovered the source of her genital bleeding and so brought shame on herself]
