The Law of Moses outlined a number of activities which could cause a person to become defiled, or unclean. In this unclean state, Israelites were unable to approach God at the Tabernacle or participate in feasts like Passover. Only after being purified could they once again be counted as clean. In this restrictive system, God was painting a picture about the nature of sin and the necessity of Christ. Evangelist Jerry Dickinson does a wonderful job discussing the contrast between clean and unclean, and explaining its importance in the Bible.
