Reference for Zevachim 33:6

אמר רבה למה לי דכתב רחמנא טמא וטבול יום ומחוסר כפורים

because we deduce [similarity of law] from the use of 'profanation' here and in the case of terumah).<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos. The allusion is to Lev. XXII,9: They shall therefore keep My charge. (this refers to terumah, as the whole passage shews) lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. Since 'profanation' (i.e.. defilement) is punishable by death there, the same holds good here. It also follows conversely that the present passage can apply only to such as 'profane' terumah. - By 'death' is meant death at the hands of heaven, not actually capital punishment by man.');"><sup>7</sup></span> [it follows that] he who is unfit [to partake of] terumah profanes the service [of sacrifice], whereas he who is not unfit [to partake of] terumah does not profane the service.
