Exegesis
The sequence of purification actions—Piel perfect vekibes {וְכִבֶּ֧ס | wə-ḵibbēs} “and he shall wash” with begadav {בְּגָדָ֛יו | bǝ-ḡā-dāyw}, followed by Qal perfect verachats {וְרָחַ֥ץ | wə-rā-ḥaṣ} “and he shall bathe” in bammayim {בַּמַּ֖יִם | ba-mmāyim}—creates a structured remedial sequence.
In context — Leviticus 15:27
Anyone who touches them will become unclean ; he must wash his garments and bathe in water, and he will remain unclean until the evening.
