Exegesis
The closing clause vetame ad-haarev {וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־הָעָֽרֶב | wə-ṭāmēʾ ʿad-hā-‘ā-reḇ} “and he will be unclean until the evening” imposes a temporal boundary on restored purity. The parallel framing of initial and final impurity underscores the rigid ritual logic governing defilement and requalification.

ʿ-r-bayin-resh-bet
