Exegesis
The construct chain benago-o-vo {בְּנָגְעוֹ־ב֑וֹ | bə-nā-ḡaʿ-ō-ḇō} 'in his touching it' serves as the protasis' trigger, with the imperfect yitma {יִטְמָא | yiṭ-māʼ} 'becomes unclean' as the apodosis denoting the resultant state.
Root and etymology
“to touch”
In context — Leviticus 15:23
And if it is upon the bed or upon the object on which she is sitting, when someone touches it, he will be unclean until the evening .
