Exegesis
The verb yitma {יִטְמָא | yiṭmāʾ} ‘becomes unclean’ in the imperfect conveys the legal verdict, followed by the temporal expression šibʿaṯ yāmîm {שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | šibʿaṯ yāmîm} ‘seven days’ in construct relationship. English translation breaks the parallelism into sequential conditions for readability, preserving the universal scope and temporal duration.
