an issue of her blood many days
on Leviticus 15:25-30
A flow that runs past its time moves the woman from the short rule to the long one, and it lasts as long as the issue lasts. Mark 5:25 and Luke 8:43 have a woman who had lived under these verses for twelve years, spent all her living on physicians, and came up behind Jesus in a crowd. Under this chapter her touch carried her uncleanness to whatever she touched, and Mark 5:29-30 has the traffic running the other way, the fountain of her blood dried up and virtue gone out of him. Her cleansing here is the man's cleansing exactly, seven days counted and two birds on the eighth.

And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation,....
We need not be at all curious in explaining these antiquated laws, it is enough if we observe the general intention; but we have need to be very cautious lest sin take occasion by the commandment to become more exceedingly sinful; and exceedingly sinful it is when lust is kindled by sparks of fire from God's altar.
