when he touches
To touch, make contact with, or reach someone or something, either physically or metaphorically. In various contexts, נָגַע can denote merely making contact, approaching or reaching a person, place, or object, or bringing about an effect through touching (such as transfer of impurity, blessing, or disease). It can also indicate striking, injuring, or inflicting harm, either by physical violence or as divine punishment, and is sometimes used euphemistically for sexual relations. Thus, the semantic range covers ordinary physical touch, reaching, striking, affliction, or the conveyance of a condition or status through contact.
