אֵין הַצִּבּוּר מֵבִיא עַל טֻמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו.

English: The community does not bring [a communal chatas] for tumah of the Mikdash and its kodashim.

In the sugya: The special prohibitions that protect the Temple from impurity are excluded from the scope of the ordinary communal chatas; they are governed by their own offering regime.

Type of Learning

Exclusion of Temple impurity — communal chatas does not cover the special prohibitions of Temple impurity.

What Is Learned

Tum’at Mikdash ve-kodashav lies outside the reach of the par he’elam davar of the congregation. Even if the Sanhedrin erred concerning those laws and the people acted on the error, the ordinary communal bull is not brought. A different set of offerings addresses Temple impurity.
