In biblical contexts, the concept of "oozing" is not directly mentioned as a specific term; however, it can be related to various instances of bodily discharges, ailments, and the flow of substances, which are addressed in the Scriptures. The Bible often uses vivid imagery and descriptions to convey spiritual truths, moral laws, and health regulations, particularly in the Old Testament.

Levitical Laws on Bodily Discharges

The most direct biblical reference to bodily discharges, which could be understood as "oozing," is found in the Levitical laws. Leviticus 15 provides detailed instructions regarding bodily discharges and their implications for ritual cleanliness. The chapter outlines the procedures for dealing with both male and female discharges, emphasizing the importance of purity and the need for ceremonial cleansing.

Leviticus 15:2-3 states: "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean. This uncleanness is from his discharge, whether his body allows the discharge to flow or blocks it." This passage highlights the concern for physical health and spiritual purity, as bodily discharges were considered a source of impurity that required specific purification rituals.

Spiritual Symbolism

In a broader spiritual sense, the concept of oozing or flowing can symbolize the outpouring of spiritual blessings or the consequences of sin. For instance, the imagery of oil flowing or oozing is often used to represent the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 133:2 describes the anointing oil on Aaron's head, saying, "It is like fine oil on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron’s beard over the collar of his robes." This imagery conveys the abundance and blessing of unity among God's people.

Conversely, the idea of oozing can also be associated with the consequences of sin and corruption. In the prophetic literature, the imagery of wounds and sores that ooze or fester is used to depict the spiritual and moral decay of Israel due to their disobedience. Isaiah 1:6 describes the nation’s condition: "From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and festering sores, neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil."

Healing and Restoration

The New Testament brings a message of healing and restoration, where Jesus Christ is portrayed as the Great Physician who heals both physical and spiritual ailments. The Gospels recount numerous instances where Jesus heals those with various diseases and conditions, including those with discharges. In Mark 5:25-29 , we read about a woman who had been suffering from a bleeding condition for twelve years. She believed that touching Jesus' garment would heal her, and indeed, "immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction."

This account not only demonstrates Jesus' power to heal physical ailments but also serves as a metaphor for the cleansing and restoration available through faith in Him. The healing of bodily discharges, or "oozing," in this context, signifies the removal of impurity and the restoration of wholeness, both physically and spiritually.

Conclusion

While the Bible does not explicitly use the term "oozing," the related concepts of bodily discharges, spiritual symbolism, and healing are woven throughout the Scriptures. These themes underscore the importance of purity, the consequences of sin, and the redemptive power of Christ's healing touch.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Ooze.131. haimorroeo -- to lose blood
