Halakhah for Bekhorot 60:29
אחד זה ואחד זה לשנים עשר חודש
Beth Shammai say: As regards [the purity of his] liquids, [whose uncleanness is of a light character], the period is thirty days, but as regards the purity of [his] garment,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The garment of an 'am ha-arez is considered unclean by a person observant of the rules of levitical purity, through the former leaning and pressing on it.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment is that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Bekhorot 30b), that we do not accept a [Levite] who accepts all of the commandments of the Levites except for one thing, [but rather only if] he accepts all of them. And their service was that they would be guardsmen for the Temple, as we have written in this Order (Sefer HaChinukh 388). And some of them were gatekeepers, to open and close the gates of the Temple.
