Exegesis
The vav consecutive vetame {וְטָמֵא | wə-ṭā-mēʾ} ‘and he shall be unclean’ delivers the legal verdict, followed by the temporal phrase shiv'at yamim {שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | šiv-ʿāṯ yā-mîm} ‘seven days’.
In context — Leviticus 15:24
And if a man lies with her, and her menstrual impurity becomes upon him, then he shall be unclean for seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
