Quoting%20commentary for Pesachim 135:2

אלא לאו למחנותם ומדסיפא למחנותם הוי רישא נמי למחנותם מידי איריא הא כדאיתא והא כדאיתא

An objection is raised: A leper is more stringent than a zab, and a zab is more stringent than he who is unclean by the dead. A ba'al keri is excepted, for he who is unclean by the dead is more stringent than he. What does 'is excepted' mean? Surely [it means], he is excepted from the rule of a zab and is included in the rule of him who is unclean by the dead, seeing that he who is unclean by the dead is more stringent than he, and [yet] he is permitted within the Levitical camp? - No: [it means that] he is excepted from the camp of him who is unclean by the dead and is included in the camp of a zab; and though he who is unclean by the dead is more stringent than he, and [yet] he may enter the Levitical camp, [nevertheless] we compare him [the ba'al keri] to what is like himself. <br>
