LEV114 (Continued from [[NUM43]] Numbers 6:11 atonement TZADIK 35). The proper course for a man to follow is to be clean in all of his affairs, for cleanliness is the road to good deeds. What shall he do? Let him wear plain clothing--neither expensive, gaudy attire that everyone stares at nor paupers' clothes that shame the wearer--but plain, pleasant, clean garments, the poor man according to his state and the rich man according to his. And it is forbidden to wear stained or soiled garments. They should not be torn, and they should not be stylized in the manner of the haughty. His food, too, should be clean. He should not eat royal fare, but plain food and plain drink, as he can afford. He should not drink or eat from ugly vessels, lest he transgress [this verse]: "Do not abominate yourselves"--but all should be done with cleanliness. His table and his bed, too, should be clean, and all of his affairs should be clean. [Continued at [[GEN704]] Genesis 9:6 image TZADIK 37]
