Leviticus 15:25 in Multiple Translations
When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.
And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean.
And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.
When a woman has a discharge of blood for several days when it's not the time for her period, or if it continues past her period, she will be unclean for the whole time she is bleeding, not just for the days of her period.
Also when a womans issue of blood runneth long time besides the time of her floures, or when she hath an issue, longer then her floures, all the dayes of the issue of her vncleannesse shee shalbe vncleane, as in the time of her floures.
'And when a woman's issue of blood floweth many days within the time of her separation, or when it floweth over her separation — all the days of the issue of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she [is] unclean.
“‘If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period, all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period. She is unclean.
And if a woman shall have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it shall run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
The woman that hath an issue of blood many days out of her ordinary time, or that ceaseth not to flow after the monthly courses, as long as she is subject to this disease, shall be unclean, in the same manner as if she were in her flowers.
“Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for ◄many days/a long time►, which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.

Context — The Uncleanness of Women
23And whether it is a bed or furniture on which she was sitting, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening.
24If a man lies with her and her menstrual flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will become unclean.
25When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.
26Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period. 27Anyone who touches these things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.Cross References

Leviticus 15:25 Summary
This verse is talking about a woman who has bleeding that is not part of her regular menstrual cycle. According to the Law of Moses, she is considered unclean for as long as the bleeding continues, just like during her regular period (as seen in Leviticus 15:24). This is not just about physical cleanliness, but also about recognizing the sacredness of the human body, as seen in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. The idea is to help us remember that our bodies are special and should be treated with care and respect, just like we see in Psalm 139:14, which reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 15:25
And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation,.... Not an ordinary but an extraordinary one, not within that time, but out of it, and which continued three
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 15:25
And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. If a woman have an issue.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 15:25
The time of her separation, to wit, the seven days mentioned , as suppose she had the emerods, &c.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 15:25
Leviticus 15:25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she [shall be] unclean.Ver. 25. Have an issue.] As she had in Mark 5:25.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 15:25
(25) Have an issue . . . many days.—The last case is that of a chronic issue, arising from a derangement in the constitution. This is the kind of complaint from which the woman suffered who came to Christ (Matthew 9:20; Luke 8:44). As long as she suffered from it, which lasted sometimes for many years, she defiled and was defiling in the same way as in her menses.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 15:25
25–30. If the issue be abnormal, it is of the nature of a disease, and is treated in the same manner as the first case (Leviticus 15:2-15). The woman in the Gospel (Matthew 9:20; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43) was thus afflicted.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 15:25
25. Issue of blood many days — For the miraculous healing of the bloody flux see Mark 5:25-34, notes.
