Exegesis
Finally, the temporal phrase ad-haarev {עַד־הָעָֽרֶב | ʿad-hā-ʿā-rēḇ} 'until the evening' bounds the duration of impurity. The Hebrew sentence follows a conditional–result pattern typical of legal statutes, and the use of maqef-bound compounds creates tight semantic units that the English translation reflects in a clear causative structure.
