Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} restricts the subject to seats that yirkav {יִרְכַּב | yir-kā-ḇ} (“he will ride”), linked via the locative suffix alav {עָלָיו | ’ā-lā-v}.
In context — Leviticus 15:9
And every saddle upon which the man with a discharge will ride shall become unclean.
