Strong's Lexicon

zob: Discharge, flow

Original Word: זוֹב
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: zowb
Pronunciation: zobe
Phonetic Spelling: (zobe)
Definition: Discharge, flow
Meaning: a seminal, menstrual flux

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb זָבַב (zavav), meaning "to flow" or "to gush."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4511 ῥύσις (rhysis) - meaning "a flowing" or "issue," used in the New Testament to describe a flow of blood, as in the account of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25).

Usage: The Hebrew word "זֹב" (zob) primarily refers to a bodily discharge, often used in the context of ritual purity laws in the Old Testament. It denotes a flow or issue from the body, which could be either natural or pathological. In the Levitical laws, it is associated with conditions that render a person ceremonially unclean.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of ritual purity was integral to religious and communal life. The laws concerning bodily discharges, as outlined in Leviticus, were part of a broader system of purity regulations that governed the Israelites' relationship with God and each other. These laws were not only about physical cleanliness but also symbolized spiritual and moral purity. The regulations served to maintain the sanctity of the community and the tabernacle, where God's presence dwelled.
