Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 11:8/אבן עזרא על ויקרא י״א:ח׳
אובנבלתם לא תגעו. והכתוב לא הזכיר הנוגע שיטמא עד הערב רק מדברי קבלה ידענו זה. והנה הנוגע בזדון יש עליו מלקות כי הוא עבר על לא תעשה:
1AND THEIR CARCASSES YE SHALL NOT TOUCH. Scripture does not mention that one who touches their carcasses shall be unclean until evening.12 However, we know this from tradition. Now, the one who deliberately touches their carcass incurs the penalty of flogging, for he violated a negative commandment.13 (p. 47) I.E. interprets this verse in accordance with the opinion of the rabbis. He writes: “The one who touches them does not incur the penalty of karet or stripes.”
