Sefaria — Shevuos 7a
E-Daf · Shevuos 7a

Core Text — Shevuos 7a
אָתְיָא ״טוּמְאָתוֹ״–״טוּמְאָתוֹ״; כְּתִיב הָכָא: ״לְכֹל טוּמְאָתוֹ״.

It is derived from “tumaso”–“tumaso”; it is written here “for all his tumah.”

The gezeirah shavah on the word “tumaso” is the textual hook that ties this passuk’s human tumah to the established Mikdash-tumah law.

Type of Learning: Gezeirah shavah on “tumaso.”
What Is Learned: The phrase “for all his tumah” is the hook that ties this passuk’s human tumah to the established Mikdash-tumah law. The oleh ve-yored of this verse is thereby limited to the Mikdash/kodashim framework.
