Issue (of Blood)

Issue (of Blood)

(, zobh, , zubh; , rhusis, , haimorrhoos): When used as a description of a bodily affection the word signifies: (1) A discharge, the consequence of uncleanness and sin (Lev 15:2; Num 5:2). As such it was one of the judgments which were to afflict the family of Joab (2Sa 3:29); (2) a hemorrhage, either natural (Lev 12:7, where the word used is makor, literally, a fountain), or the consequence of disease (Mat 9:20; Mar 5:25; Luk 8:43).
