Exegesis
The final clause employs a relative structure with u-le-ish {וּלְאִ֕ישׁ | u-le-ʾîš} ‘and for a man’ introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’, followed by the verb yishkav {יִשְׁכַּ֖ב | yiškav} ‘lies down’ and the prepositional phrase im-temeah {עִם-טְמֵאָֽה | ʿim-temēʾāh} ‘with an unclean woman’. English rendering uses explicit conjunctions and relative clauses to reflect the cumulative list structure and preserve the theological emphasis on ritual boundaries.
