"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." This verse reveals something essential about the nature of God's word.

In the Jewish law of that time, continual bleeding placed a person in a state of ceremonial uncleanness according to the book of Leviticus.
