וְאֶל הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לֹא תָבֹא. תַּנְיָא: טָמֵא שֶׁנִּכְנָס דֶּרֶךְ גַּגִּין לַהֵיכָל — פָּטוּר, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְאֶל הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לֹא תָבֹא״; דֶּרֶךְ בִּיאָה אָסְרָה תּוֹרָה.

English: “And you shall not enter the sanctuary” — one who enters the Sanctuary through the roofs is exempt, because the Torah prohibited entry by the ordinary manner of entry.
