Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 16:28
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water,…. In forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, everyone of those that burnt them, as Aben Ezra observes; for these being sin offerings, and had a connection with the sins of men, for whom they were offered, the persons concerned in the carrying and burning of them were equally defiled, and needed washing, as the man that led and let go the goat into the wilderness:
and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and have the liberty of conversation with men in civil and religious things, but not till evening; so long he was defiled; and according to the Misnah u from the time they got without the walls of the court; and after washing and bathing, and when the evening was come, they were clean; and might go where they pleased.
u Misn. Yoma, c. 6. sect. 7.

(28) And he that burneth.That is, those who carried the carcases and burned them, like the messenger who conducted the sin-laden goat, contracted defilement from the atoning victims. They had, therefore, to undergo the same ablutions.

“And he who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.”
Then the one who burns them has to wash his clothes, wash himself thoroughly, after which he can return to the camp. Here we must almost certainly see the need to wash off the contact with holiness which must not be carried into the camp (compare Lev 16:24).
