5 Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
*Minor differences ignored. Grouped by changes, with first version listed as example.
And whosoever toucheth his bed,.... Is unclean. According to the Misnah (x), a bed defiles a man seven ways, so as to defile garments; standing, sitting, lying, hanging, and leaning, and by touching, and by bearing:
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water; in forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan:
and be unclean until the even; be unfit for conversation with other men till the even, though both his body and clothes are washed.
(x) Zabim, ut supra. (c. 2. sect. 4.)
