1.

Rashi: To teach us a. that the Moshav renders Tamei 1 the person who sits on it, together with the clothes he is wearing, even though he has not touched it, even if he is lying on top of ten sheets 2 (and even Even Mesama is Metamei 3 ? Sifra).

What can we learn from the fact that the Torah writes " ve'ha'Yoshev ... asher Yashav alav ha'Zav" and not simply " ve'ha' Shochev alav" (with reference to Mishkav in Pasuk 5)?

1.

Sifra: To teach us that what the Zav is sitting or lying on he is Tamei even if he is not actually touching it ? if, for example, he is lying on ten sheets, the bottom sheet is Tamei as well, and same applies to E'ven Mesamei. 1
