מָה לְהַלָּן טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ, אַף כָּאן טוּמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ.

Just as there it is tumas Mikdash, so here it is tumas Mikdash.

The gezeirah shavah of “tumaso” links this verse to known tumas Mikdash contexts, limiting the scope of human tumah that generates the oleh ve-yored.

Type of Learning: Gezeirah shavah of “tumaso” linking to known tumas Mikdash contexts.
What Is Learned: Human tumah in this verse is read as the tumah that matters for Mikdash entry, not every possible human impurity in daily life. The parallel language restricts the oleh ve-yored to the Mikdash/kodashim framework.
