In Jewish tradition

A place for sleeping, or the place on which a person who is unclean lies. Touching a bed can make someone unclean.

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.
