Exegesis
The relative clause with ʾašer {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} functions as a conditional protasis: yiggaʿ {יִגַּע | yiggaʿ} ‘he touches’ plus bô {בּוֹ | bô} ‘in it’ specifies contact by ha-zāv {הַזָּב | ha-zāv} ‘the man with a discharge’.
In context — Leviticus 15:12
And any vessel of clay which the man with a discharge touches—it shall be broken. And every vessel of wood shall be rinsed with water .
