7 [1] AND WHEN THE SUN IS DOWN, HE SHALL BE CLEAN. It is known that *he shall be clean* refers to the unclean, for there is no mention of the word day in the verse. Compare, *and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean* (Lev. 12:8). However, the rabbis of blessed memory transmitted to us the law that even if the sun sets he shall not eat until it is completely dark. They used this verse as a support. I have explained the latter in my comments on the verse *unto a foreign people* (Ex. 21:8). The rabbis therefore said that *ve-taher* (he should be clean) means that the day shall be clean.
[2] BECAUSE IT IS HIS BREAD. His food. I have previously explained this.
