And if a woman have an issue,.... Having finished, as Aben Ezra observes, what was to be said of the male, now the Scripture begins with the female, whose issue, of a different sort, is thus described:[and] her issue in her flesh be blood; or, "blood be her issue in her flesh"; not in any part of her, but in that which by an euphemism is so called, in the same sense as the phrase is used of men, Le 15:2; and so it distinguishes it from any flow of blood elsewhere, as a bleeding at the nose, &c.
she shall be put apart seven days; not out of the camp, nor out of the house, but might not go into the house of God:whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even; the same as one that had touched a man that had an issue, Le 15:7; the pollution of the one reached to the same things as that of the other; and so, in the Misnah , they are put together, and the same is ascribed to the touch of the one as of the other; it may be understood of everything as well as of every person.
