Exegesis
The passage opens with vekhol {וְכֹל֩ | wə-kol} ‘and all’, establishing a comprehensive scope that is immediately narrowed by the relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁ֨ר | ʾa-šer} ‘which’.
Two parallel Qal imperfect verbs, tishkav {תִּשְׁכַּ֥ב | ti-škaḇ} ‘lies down’ and teshev {תֵּשֵׁ֥ב | te-šēḇ} ‘sits’, describe ongoing actions during the state of impurity.
In context — Leviticus 15:20
And everything upon which she lies during her menstrual impurity becomes unclean , and everything upon which she sits also becomes unclean.
