Strong's Lexicon zo: To flow, to issue, to discharge Original Word: זוֹ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of discharge or flow is ῥύσις (rhysis), Strong's Greek #4511, which appears in contexts such as the New Testament account of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25). Usage: The Hebrew verb זָוָה (zāwâ) primarily refers to the act of flowing or discharging, often used in the context of bodily discharges. It is a term that appears in the context of ritual purity laws, particularly in the book of Leviticus, where it describes various types of bodily emissions that render a person ceremonially unclean. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ritual purity was integral to religious life. The laws concerning bodily discharges, as outlined in Leviticus, were part of a broader system of purity laws that governed the Israelites' relationship with God and their community. These laws were not merely about physical cleanliness but were symbolic of spiritual and moral purity. The discharge laws served as a reminder of the fallen human condition and the need for atonement and cleansing before approaching a holy God.
