Exegesis

The prepositional phrase belo et-niddatah {בְּלֹא עֶת־נִדָּתָהּ | be-lô ʿeṯ-nid-dā-ṯāh} ‘outside the time of her separation’ delimits the expected cycle.

The conjunction o {אוֹ | ʾō} and second conditional ki-tazuv al-niddatah {כִּי־תָזוּב עַל־נִדָּתָהּ | kî-tā-zûv ʿal-nid-dā-ṯāh} introduce an alternative extension of the flow.

The construct chain kol-yemei zov tumatah {כָּל־יְמֵי זוֹב טֻמְאָתָהּ | kol-yə-mê zôv ṭū-mə-ʾā-ṯāh} ‘all the days of the discharge of her impurity’ parallels ki-mei-niddatah {כִּימֵי־נִדָּתָהּ | kî-mê-nid-dā-ṯāh} ‘as the days of her separation’, emphasizing continuous ritual status.
