The Impurity of Death in the Underworld
Jesus is presented in the narrative as an outsider. He didn't come from priestly stock, but he's going to be elevated to be the like ruler. An unclean meaning what here? Impure.

The other main explanation is that because evil spiritual beings are associated with death in the underworld, that means they're associated with dead bodies or corpses.
