Interpretation: The bed of a person with a discharge passes uncleanness, and a person who touches it must wash and immerse. The rabbis took these laws to teach care about purity. In the primary lessons: things counted in rooms, or flower beds with rows and area; also bedtime; in science, a riverbed or seabed; phrases «go to bed», «make the bed», «bedtime», «bunk bed», «flower bed»
