spit, expectorate (upon someone)
This verb means to spit, appearing in Leviticus 15:8 in purity regulations: if a man with a discharge spits on someone clean, that person becomes unclean. Spitting here is not hostile but physiological—yet it transmits impurity. The law's precision about even saliva shows how comprehensively discharge-related uncleanness could spread. The regulation protects community health while maintaining ritual boundaries, treating spittle as a vector for contagion.

Sentidos
1. sense 1 Leviticus 15:8 addresses the scenario where 'the one with the discharge spits on the clean person'—direct transmission of impurity through saliva. The verb appears with the preposition 'upon,' indicating the target. Spanish 'escupiere' (should spit), English 'spits' capture the physiological act. This isn't contemptuous spitting (as in some other biblical contexts) but the ordinary expectoration that becomes significant because it carries ritual impurity from the diseased person to the clean.
