WHEN RISH LAKISH SAYS THAT HE LEARNS THIS ISUR FROM THE POSUK OF ISH ISH MIZERAH AHARON... R' YOCHANAN SAYS THAT HE USES THAT POSUK TO TEACH THTA SOMEONE WHO IS TAMEI CANNOT EAT TRUMAH. THE QUESTION IS IF R' YOCHANAN LEARNS BCHOL KODESH LO SIGA TO TEACH THAT SOMEONE WHOIS TAMEI CANNOT TOUCH TRUMAH, WHY DOES HE NEED A SEPARATE POSUK TO TEACH THAT SOMEONE WHO IS TAMEI CANNOT EAT TRUMAH? EATING SHOULD BE INCLUSIVE IN TOUCHING.
