Midrasz do Kapłańska 17:16
וְאִם֙ לֹ֣א יְכַבֵּ֔ס וּבְשָׂר֖וֹ לֹ֣א יִרְחָ֑ץ וְנָשָׂ֖א עֲוֺנֽוֹ׃ (פ)
A jeżeliby nie wyprał, a ciała swego nie wykąpał, poniesie winę swoję."
Sifra
13) We find, then, that if one were eating the neveilah of a clean bird, one of his hands on an (earthen) stove, and the other on his neighbor, both are tahor. (Vayikra 17:16) "And if he does not wash … then he shall bear his sin": I might think that for failure to wash his clothes he incurs the punishment of kareth; it is, therefore, written "not bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his sin — For failure to bathe his body the punishment is kareth, but for failure to wash his clothes, it is forty lashes.
