Strong's Lexicon zaavah: Discharge Original Word: זַעֲוָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: za`avah Pronunciation: zah-VAH Phonetic Spelling: (zah-av-aw') Definition: Discharge Meaning: agitation, maltreatment Word Origin: Derived from the root זוב (zuv), meaning "to flow" or "to gush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4511 (ῥύσις, rhysis): Refers to a flow or issue, often used in the context of a flow of blood, as seen in the New Testament account of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25-34). Usage: The term "zaavah" refers specifically to a woman's abnormal bodily discharge, often associated with menstrual irregularities or other gynecological conditions. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe a condition that renders a woman ceremonially unclean according to the Levitical laws. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, laws concerning purity and impurity were central to religious and communal life. The condition of "zaavah" is addressed in Leviticus 15, where specific instructions are given for how a woman with such a discharge should be treated. These laws were not only about physical health but also about maintaining ritual purity, which was essential for participating in religious activities and community life. The concept of purity was deeply intertwined with holiness and the presence of God among His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin by transp. for zevaah, q.v.
