Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 131: ἁιμορρέωἁιμορρέω, (ῶ; to be ἁιμόρροος (αἷμα and ῤέω), to suffer from a flow of blood: Matthew 9:20. (the Sept. Leviticus 15:33, where it means menstruous, and in medical writers.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from αἷμα (haima), meaning "blood," and ῥέω (rhéō), meaning "to flow."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a flow of blood or issue of blood in the Hebrew Bible can be related to the Hebrew word דָּם (dam, Strong's Hebrew 1818), meaning "blood." While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the verb αἱμορροέω, the condition described can be associated with the laws concerning bodily discharges found in Leviticus 15:25-30, which address the ceremonial implications of such conditions. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the condition of a woman suffering from a continuous flow of blood, often understood as a chronic hemorrhage. Context: The term αἱμορροέω appears in the New Testament in the context of miraculous healing. It is specifically used in the Synoptic Gospels to describe the condition of a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years. This condition rendered her ceremonially unclean according to Jewish law, isolating her from religious and social life. The narrative is found in Matthew 9:20, Mark 5:25, and Luke 8:43. In these accounts, the woman approaches Jesus in faith, believing that touching His garment would heal her. Her faith is rewarded, and she is immediately healed upon touching Jesus' cloak. Jesus acknowledges her faith and declares her healed, saying, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering" (Mark 5:34, BSB). This story highlights themes of faith, healing, and the breaking of social and religious barriers through Jesus' ministry.
