(דברים כג יב) **וְהָיָה לִפְנוֹת עֶרֶב יִרְחַץ בַּמָּיִם**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁהַקֶּרִי פּוֹטֵר בַּזִּיבָה מֵעֵת לְעֵת.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 21:12) "And it shall be towards evening that he shall wash himself with water": This teaches us that a seminal emission exempts a *zivah* (seminal) discharge within the same twenty-four hour period (from the requirement of cleansing, the verse implying that whatever intervenes, he will be clean in the evening.)

**וּבָא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ**, בִּיאַת שִׁמְשׁוֹ מְעַכַּבְתּוֹ לִיכָּנֵס לִפְנִים מִן הַמַּחֲנֶה וְאֵין זִיבָתוֹ מְעַכַּבְתּוֹ לִיכָּנֵס לִפְנִים מִן הַמַּחֲנֶה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"and when the sun sets": The (non-) setting of the sun prevents him from entering the camp.
