Exegesis
The conjunction u-mitz’ato {וּמִצֹּאָת֗וֹ | ū-miṣ·ʾō·ṯā-wô} ‘and from his filth’ employs the preposition plus noun construct to indicate the source of defilement, and lo rukhatz {לֹא רֻחָץ | lōʾ rū-ḥāṣ} ‘has not been washed’ is a qal passive participle expressing an unresolved state of impurity. The juxtaposition of self-perceived innocence with the reality of unremoved defilement is emphasized by parallel structure and chiasmic contrast.
