This introduces a new character in the story. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants]])

# had been bleeding

"had a flow of blood." She was probably bleeding from her womb even when it was not the normal time for it. Some cultures may have a polite way of referring to this condition. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism]])

# and could not be healed by anyone

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "but no one could heal her" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
