Context — Laws Regarding Bodily Dischargesgenerated

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.

Leviticus 15:25 provides specific guidelines about a woman's discharge of blood, indicating that she is considered unclean during this time. This regulation is part of a broader set of laws concerning ritual purity, which are essential for maintaining the holiness of the community. The context emphasizes the importance of understanding these laws for both personal and communal purity, as seen in other passages like Leviticus 15:19-24.

The Key Word טְמֵאָ֥ה, te.me.'Ahgenerated

The term טְמֵאָ֥ה (tame'ah) refers to a state of being unclean, particularly in a ceremonial context. It encompasses various forms of impurity, including those arising from bodily discharges, and is crucial for understanding the laws of ritual purity in the Hebrew Bible.

This word is derived from a root that conveys defilement or pollution, often linked to moral or ritual contexts. Understanding this term helps clarify the implications of ceremonial laws for individuals and the community.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses unclean, which is also reflected in the KJV and ASV.

Where others part company with the BSB they part company over the word רַבִּ֗יםmany (ASV, BSB, KJV, YLT) versus several (FBV).


Sentence Structuregenerated

The verse contains a series of clauses that describe the conditions of a woman's discharge — the finite verbs יָזוּב֩ and תָז֖וּב govern the main actions, while other phrases provide context and detail about the duration and implications of the discharge.

The structure emphasizes the conditions under which the woman is deemed unclean, linking her state of impurity directly to her bodily discharge.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates the Hebrew word טְמֵאָ֥ה as ἀκάθαρτος, meaning 'unclean.' This choice reflects the translators' understanding of the ritual implications of the term, aligning with the notion of moral and ceremonial purity.

The Greek term emphasizes the spiritual and ceremonial aspects of uncleanness, which is consistent with the Hebrew context.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Woman

Was “taken out of man” (Gen. 2:23), and therefore the man has the preeminence. “The head of the woman is the man;” but yet honour is to be shown to the wife, “as unto the weaker vessel” (1 Cor. 11:3, 8, 9; 1 Pet. 3:7). Several women are mentioned in Scripture as having been endowed with prophetic gifts, as Miriam (Ex. 15:20), Deborah (Judg. 4:4, 5), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Neh. 6:14), Anna (Luke 2:36, 37), and the daughters of Philip the evangelist…

Man and woman are indeed essentially one, the natural qualities of each so responding to those of the other as to lay the foundation of the most tender and abiding unity. The Bible thus raised the Jewish woman high above the woman of heathenism; and the Old Testament contains some of the finest portraitures of female character.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The Hebrew word אוֹ (*'ow*) primarily functions as a conjunction meaning 'or,' often indicating a preference or choice between options. It can also introduce examples, express conditions, or imply alternatives. Additionally, it is associated with the noun meaning 'desire' in Proverbs 31:4. The entries reflect a range of uses, but do not present significant disagreement.

The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
