Question: This teaches only Tum'as ha'Kodesh. What is the source for Tum'as Mikdash?

Answer: It says [here] "v'Tum'aso Alav" [and it says about Tum'as Mikdash "Od Tum'aso Vo." We learn from a Gezeirah Shavah "Tum'aso-Tum'aso".]

Question: Why do you say that it refers to a Tamei who ate Tahor [Kodshim]? Perhaps it is a Tahor who ate Tamei Kodshim!

Answer #1: It says "v'Tum'aso Alav" - Tum'as ha'Guf, and not Tum'ah of the meat.

Answer #2 (Rebbi): "V'Achal v'Tum'aso Alav" refers to Tum'as ha'Guf, and not Tum'as Basar.

Answer #3 (R. Chiya): Kodshim are said in the plural, and Tum'ah in the singular ("El ha'Kodoshim... v'Tum'aso Alav" - SHIREI KORBAN). We must say that Tum'aso refers to Tum'as ha'Guf, and not Tum'as Basar.

Answer #4 (R. Meir): It discusses only one whose Tum'ah separates from him [through Tevilah]. This excludes meat, for its Tum'ah does not leave it.

Question: [If Yom Kipur did not atone for his Chiyuv Chatas and Asham,] how did Yom Kipur help for him?

Answer (R. Yosi bei R. Bun): Yom Kipur became for him like Asham Taluy. If he died after Yom Kipur (before bringing his Korban), he already atoned.

Suggestion: "V'Chiper Al ha'Kodesh mi'Tum'os Bnei Yisrael" - there are three other [Aveiros called] Tum'os that I could include. Idolatry is called Tum'ah - "Lema'an Tamei Es Mikdashi." It says about Arayos "l'Vilti Asos mi'Chukos ha'To'evos... [v'Lo Sitam'u]". It says about murder "v'Lo Setama Es ha'Aretz";

Perhaps this goat [offered in the Kodesh ha'Kodoshim on Yom Kipur] atones for all of these Tum'os!

Rejection: [It atones] "mi'Tum'os", but not all Tum'os.

We find that the Torah distinguished in Tum'as Mikdash and Kodoshav (to be lenient - one brings Oleh v'Yored, and not Chatas Kavu'a). Also here, we will distinguish [to be lenient that one gets Kaparah through a Korban Tzibur, and need not pay for his own Korban - KORBAN HA'EDAH] only for Tum'as Mikdash v'Kodoshav. R. Yehudah says so;

R. Shimon says, it is proven from its place! It says "v'Chiper Al ha'Kodesh mi'Tum'os Bnei Yisrael" - this implies that all Tum'ah in the Kodesh.

Suggestion: Perhaps this goat atones for all Tum'as Mikdash v'Kodoshav (even if here was Yedi'ah at the beginning and at the end)!

Rejection: "Umi'Pish'eihem" are sins of rebellion (for which one does not bring a Korban. It does not atone for Chayavei Korban, e.g. Shogeg in which there was Yedi'ah at the beginning and at the end);

Source: "Melech Mo'av Pasha Bi" (shows that Pesha refers to rebellion).
