[א] יכול יהיה טמא מטמא בשר הקדש במשא? ודין הוא! ומה אם אפר חטאת – שאין טבול יום מטמא במגע – הטמא מטמאו במשא, בשר קדש – שטבול יום מטמאו במגע – אינו דין שיהיה טמא מטמאו במשא?! תלמוד לומר "אשר יגע" – במגעו הוא מטמא ואינו מטמא במשא.
1) (Vayikra 7:19) ("And the flesh (of consecrated peace-offerings) that shall touch anything that is tamei shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. And the flesh — everyone that is clean may eat the flesh.") I might think one who is tamei makes consecrated flesh tamei by carrying it, and that it follows a fortiori, viz.: Now if the ashes of purification (of the red heifer), which a tvul yom (one who immersed in the daytime) does not make tamei by touch, makes it tamei by carrying, then consecrated flesh, which a tvul yom does make tamei by touch, does it not follow that he makes it tamei by carrying it! It is, therefore, (to negate this) written "that shall touch" — he makes it tamei by touch and not by carrying it.
