( זוב , zōbh , זוּב , zūbh ; ῥύσις , rhusis , αἱμόρῥοος , haimórrhoos ): When used as a description of a bodily affection the word signifies: (1) A discharge, the consequence of uncleanness and sin ( Leviticus 15:2; Numbers 5:2 ). As such it was one of the judgments which were to afflict the family of Joab (2 Samuel 3:29 ); (2) a hemorrhage, either natural (Leviticus 12:7 , where the word used is māḳōr , literally, a "fountain"), or the consequence of disease (Matthew 9:20; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43 ).
