“And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.”
Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. The contact-impurity for touching the menstruating woman's defiled seat — parallel to verse 6 for the man's discharge. The same cloth-washing and bathing and until-evening impurity. The repetition of the same impurity regulations for the woman's bed and seat as for the man's communicates the equal and consistent application of the impurity framework regardless of the person's gender.
