Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־מְקֹרָ֣⁠הּ הֶֽעֱרָ֔ה וְ⁠הִ֕יא גִּלְּתָ֖ה אֶת־מְק֣וֹר דָּמֶ֑י⁠הָ

DOM DOM DOM spring_of,her exposed and=she 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,her and,they_will_be_cut_off both_of=them from,the_midst_of their_people_of,their )

The expressions her flow and the the flow 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 it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this explicitly in your translation. 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]
