9. Since the spirit of defilement is in readiness TO DEFILE THE BODY, one must not keep the body for a night, because the spirit of defilement is present at night and spreads, NAMELY ROAMS, throughout the land to find a soulless body to defile it. THEREFORE AT NIGHT it is defiled even more. Therefore it warned the priests, saying, "There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people" (Vayikra 21:1). Since they are holy, the spirit of defilement will not dwell upon them and they shall not be defiled - FOR THE SPIRIT OF DEFILEMENT CAN DWELL ON A SPIRITLESS BODY.
9. וּבְגִין דְּהַהוּא רוּחַ מִסְאֲבָא, אִזְדְּמַן, לָא לִבְעֵי לֵיהּ לְאִינִישׁ, לְמֵיבַת הַהוּא גּוּפָא לֵילְיָא חַד, בְּגִין דְּרוּחַ מִסְאֲבָא אִשְׁתְּכַח בְּלֵילְיָא, וְאִשְׁתְּטַח בְּכָל אַרְעָא, לְאַשְׁכְּחָא גּוּפָא בְּלָא נַפְשָׁא, לְסָאֲבָא לֵיהּ, וְאִסְתְּאַב יַתִּיר, וְעַל דָּא אַזְהַר לְכַהֲנֵי וְאָמַר, לְנֶפֶשׁ לֹא יִטַּמָּא בְּעַמָּיו, בְּגִין דְּאִינּוּן קַדִּישִׁין לָא יִשְׁרֵי עָלַיְיהוּ רוּחַ מִסְאֲבָא, וְלָא יִסְתַּאֲבוּן.
