“And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.”
Whoever sits on anything that the man with a discharge sat on must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. The defiled seat creates impurity for anyone who sits on it — the same cloth-washing and until-evening impurity as touching the defiled bed. The parallel treatment of the bed and the seat communicates that both surfaces that mediate between the man's body and the surrounding world are equally sources of secondary impurity.
