What does it mean to be clean in the context of the Old Law?

Accepted answer
My understanding of cleanliness vs uncleanliness had to do with ability to participate in Jewish religious ceremonies. They were things which were not sinful, however when made unclean, would make one ineligible to participate in Holy ceremonies. The level of purification needed also scaled with the closeness to God, with a very large amount of purification prior to a high priest entering the Holy of Hollies. It is my understanding that this view does not differ greatly from traditional Jewish views of Levitical cleanliness.
