Strong's Lexicon rhusis: Flow, issue Original Word: ῥύσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ῥέω (rheo), meaning "to flow" or "to run." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "rhusis," the concept of a flow or discharge, particularly in the context of ritual impurity, can be related to the Hebrew word "זָב" (zav), which refers to a flow or discharge, as seen in Leviticus 15. Usage: The term "rhusis" is used in the New Testament to describe a flow or discharge, particularly in a medical or physical context. It is most commonly associated with a flow of blood, as seen in the accounts of the woman with the issue of blood. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Jewish context, a flow of blood, especially in women, was often associated with ritual impurity according to Levitical law (Leviticus 15:25-30). This condition would have significant social and religious implications, as it could lead to isolation from the community and exclusion from religious practices. The healing of such a condition would not only restore physical health but also social and religious standing.
