או נפש אשר תגע בכל דבר טמא... ונעלם ממנו והוא טמא ואשם

English: Or a person who touches any impure thing… and it is hidden from him, and he is impure and becomes guilty.

Type of Learning

Tum’at Mikdash ve-kodashav be-shogeg — classic trigger for oleh ve-yored.

What Is Learned

One who contracts impurity (from a carcass of a pure or impure animal, or a sheretz) and then, forgetting the impurity, enters the Mikdash or eats kodashim, becomes liable for the sliding-scale chatat of this section.
