“And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.”
Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening. These animals are unclean for you. The cloth-washing requirement for picking up the carcasses of paw-walking animals repeats the rule of verse 25. The consistent application of the same graduated impurity response — touch produces personal impurity; lift produces personal plus clothing impurity — to different categories of unclean animals communicates the systematic consistency of the purification framework.
