Usage: The Hebrew verb "zub" primarily means to flow or gush, often used in the context of bodily discharges. It is frequently associated with the flow of fluids, whether from a wound, a natural bodily function, or metaphorically to describe the flow of water or other substances. In the Levitical laws, it is used to describe various types of bodily discharges that render a person ceremonially unclean.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, as outlined in the Torah, bodily discharges were significant in terms of ritual purity. The laws concerning discharges, found primarily in Leviticus, were part of a broader system of purity laws that governed the daily lives of the Israelites. These laws were not only about physical cleanliness but also about maintaining a state of holiness before God. The concept of purity was deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric of ancient Israel, influencing everything from personal hygiene to communal worship.
