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 (2 Sam 3:29);

(2) a hemorrhage, either natural (Lev 12:7, where the word used is maqor, literally, a "fountain"), or the consequence of disease (Matt 9:20; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43).
