niddah: exiled, not separated or put apart

Don't Defile the Israelite Race

and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place. 2Ch 29:5

Of 32 occurrences of the word "niddah" in the Holy Bible, the following is the only Scripture where all major translators agree with the KJV translators that it's a reference to a menstrous woman:

As illustrated by the following Scripture, this word is usually translated by the KJV translators as filthiness, impurity, removed, defiled, unclean, uncleanness, unclean thing, separated one, separated woman, and a removed woman, from the "people of the lands", as well as in the lands they inhabited, filthiness and impurity which can be removed from holy places, gold which becomes impure, fountains for inabitants for impurity.  All of this raises questions about the justification for using this word as a reference to a menstrous woman.

2Ch 29:5 And said^{559 unto them, Hear8085 me, ye Levites,3881 sanctify now yourselves,6942, 6258 and sanctify6942 (853) the house1004 of the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers,1 and carry forth3318 (853) the filthiness5079 out of4480 the holy6944 place.}

The following Strong's definition for niddah further confuses the real meaning, and excludes the importance of racial purity to the House of Israel made very clear in other Scripture:

Eze 7:19

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. 

Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been.

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be exiled: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

MENSTROUS WOMAN, SEPARATED ONE, OR EXILE?

Where the KJV translators viewed niddah as a reference to menstrous, separated, or set apart women four times, the YLT interpreted this to be a reference only to people, and not to women, in three of them:

Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. (KJV)

Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are round about him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing. Lam 1:17 (YLT)

Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as an exile among them. (actual)
