Issue (Of Blood)
ISSUE (OF BLOOD) [isbe]
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 ff; Nu 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 (Mt 9:20; Mk 5:25; Lk 8:43).
