Exegesis
The relative clause asher lo yihyeh tahor {אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִהְיֶה טָהוֹר | ʾăšer lōʾ yihyēh ṭāhôr} describes ritual impurity resulting from the construct phrase miqre laylah {מִקְּרֵה־לַיְלָה | miqre laylāh}, a euphemism for nocturnal emission.
In context — Deuteronomy 23:10
If there is among you a man who is not clean because of a nocturnal occurrence , then he shall go out to the outside of the camp; he shall not enter into the midst of the camp.
