# and could not be healed by anyone

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

# touched the edge of his coat

"touched the fringe of his robe." Jewish men wore tassels on the edges of their robes as a part of their ceremonial dress as commanded in God's Law. This is likely what she touched.
