Exegesis
The predicate adjective vetame {וְטָמֵא | wə-ṭā-mē} ‘and he is unclean’ states the resulting status, and the temporal phrase ad-haarev {עַד־הָעָֽרֶב | ʿad-hā-ʿā-rēḇ} ‘until the evening’ sets the duration of impurity. The English translation renders the protasis as an if-clause, preserves the sequence of purification actions, and retains the temporal boundary for legal precision.
