Exegesis
In clause one, the relative particle asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} and the Qal imperfect yiga {יִגַּע | yiggāʿ} introduce the condition under which impurity follows, and the Qal imperfect yitma {יִטְמָא | yit-tāmāʾ} states the resultant state.
In context — Numbers 19:22
And everything that the unclean person touches shall become unclean, and the soul who touches it shall be unclean until the evening.
