Strong's Lexicon
haimorroeó: To suffer from a flow of blood, to have an issue of blood

Original Word: αἱμορροέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: haimorroeó
Pronunciation: hahee-mor-ro-eh'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (hahee-mor-hreh'-o)
Definition: To suffer from a flow of blood, to have an issue of blood
Meaning: I suffer from a continual flow (oozing) of blood.

Word Origin: From αἷμα (haima, meaning "blood") and ῥέω (rheo, meaning "to flow")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "haimorroeó," the concept of ceremonial uncleanness due to a flow of blood is addressed in Leviticus 15:25-27, which uses terms related to impurity and uncleanness.

Usage: The verb "haimorroeó" is used in the New Testament to describe the condition of a person suffering from a continuous flow of blood, often understood as a hemorrhage. This term is specifically used in the context of a woman who had been suffering from a bleeding disorder for many years.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish culture of the first century, a woman with a bleeding disorder would have been considered ceremonially unclean according to Levitical law (Leviticus 15:25-27). This condition would have isolated her socially and religiously, as she would have been unable to participate in communal worship and would have been avoided by others to prevent ceremonial defilement. The condition not only had physical implications but also significant social and spiritual consequences.
