etymology

The Hebrew verb stem of suw ( Hebrew זוּב) reads in Kal sawa (זָבָה) and means “flowing” (cf. “ a land where milk and honey flow” ).

Hebrew Bible

The first commandments regarding the saa were given to the Israelites in the second year after they left Egypt .

"Command the children of Israel to put out of the camp all lepers and all who have oozed pus and who have become unclean in the dead."

Rabbinical interpretation

Maimonides describes the state of the saw as a weakening of the male reproductive system, although the general health of the man is good. The sperm of the otherwise healthy man drains without arousal, erection or pleasure. The drain has a reddish hue and a thin consistency.

Abraham ibn Esra mentions that the condition of the saw can either mean abnormal drainage or the complete loss of the ability to ejaculate.
