THE THREE VERSES WHICH DISCUSS EATING TERUMAH AT SUNDOWN:
* = This verse teaches that sundown does not suffice -- Tevilah is also required.
** = This verse teaches that it is sundown (together with Tevilah) which makes him Tahor.
*** = This verse teaches that even one who must bring a Korban in order to eat Kodshim (a "Bar Kaparah") becomes Tahor for Terumah with sundown. (See also Insights to 75a.)

FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) Since the verse discusses a person who is not obligated to bring a Korban in order to become Tahor, "Ad Asher Yithar" must mean sundown (74b).
(2) There is a dispute about which Metzora and Zav this verse discusses. Some say that it refers to a Metzora Musgar and a Zav who saw two flows (who do not bring a Korban for Kaparah), and "Asher Yithar" refers to becoming Tahor at sundown. Others say that it refers to a Metzora Muchlat and a Zav who saw three flows (who do bring a Korban for Kaparah), and "Asher Yithar" refers to becoming Tahor upon offering the Korban. According to the second view, the verse discusses what he must do before he may eat Kodshim.
(3) According to the opinion that "Ad Asher Yithar" (row 1) also discusses a person who must bring a Korban in order to become Tahor (i.e. he is a "Bar Kaparah"; see footnote 2), two verses are necessary to teach that one must bring the Korban before he touches Kodshim: one for Yoledes and one for Zav. (One cannot be learned from the other, as the Gemara explains.)
(4) Throughout the days of Tum'ah and Dam Tohar which follow the birth, she is considered a "Tevulas Yom Aruch." That is, the sundown that permits her to eat Terumah is the sundown after "the completion of the days of her Taharah."
(5) According to the second answer of the Gemara, it seems that this verse teaches when Terumah may be touched. However, TOSFOS proves that it is not from here that we learn that touching Terumah requires He'erev Shemesh (because the verse refers to touching Kodesh and not Terumah). Rather, we learn from this verse that it is logical that a Tamei who is prohibited from eating an item due to its Kedushah is also prohibited from touching that item as well. Because of this line of logic, we learn from the verse "b'Mayim Yuva" (row 6) that Terumah may not be touched by a Tevul Yom, and not that Ma'aser Sheni may not be touched by a Tevul Yom.
