הַמִּזְבֵּחַ מְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת הָרָאוּי לוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר: כָּל הָרָאוּי לָאִשִּׁים, אִם עָלָה לֹא יֵרֵד, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: “הִוא הָעֹלָה עַל מוֹקְדָה עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ“, מַה עוֹלָה שֶׁהִיא רְאוּיָה לָאִשִּׁים, אִם עָלְתָה לֹא תֵרֵד, אַף כָּל דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא רָאוּי לָאִשִּׁים, אִם עָלָה לֹא יֵרֵד. רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר: כָּל הָרָאוּי לַמִּזְבֵּחַ, אִם עָלָה לֹא יֵרֵד, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: “הִוא הָעֹלָה עַל מוֹקְדָה עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ“. מַה עוֹלָה שֶׁהִיא רְאוּיָה לַמִּזְבֵּחַ, אִם עָלְתָה לֹא תֵרֵד, אַף כָּל דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא רָאוּי לַמִּזְבֵּחַ, אִם עָלָה לֹא יֵרֵד. אֵין בֵּין דִּבְרֵי רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל לְדִבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶלָּא הַדָּם וְהַנְּסָכִים, שֶׁרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר: לֹא יֵרְדוּ, וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר: יֵרֵדוּ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: הַזֶּבַח כָּשֵׁר וְהַנְּסָכִים פְּסוּלִים, הַנְּסָכִים כְּשֵׁרִין וְהַזֶּבַח פָּסוּל, אֲפִלּוּ זֶה וְזֶה פְסוּלִין — הַזֶּבַח לֹא יֵרֵד, וְהַנְּסָכִים יֵרֵדוּ.
The Altar sanctifies that which is fit for it. R’ Yehoshua says: Whatever is fit for the [Altar’s] fires, once it has gone up [on the Altar] should not be taken down; as it is stated: It is the olah-offering [that stays] on the pyre, on the Altar. Just as an olah-offering, which is [something] fit for the [Altar’s] fires, should not be taken down once it has gone up [on the Altar], so too anything which is fit for the fires should not be taken down once it has gone up [on the Altar]. Rabban Gamliel says: Whatever is fit for the Altar should not be taken down once it has gone up [on the Altar]; as it is said: It is the olah-offering, [that stays] on the pyre, on the Altar. Just as an olah-offering, which is [something] fit for the Altar, should not be taken down once it has gone up [on the Altar], so too anything which is fit for the Altar should not be taken down once it has gone up [on the Altar]. The only difference between the view of Rabban Gamliel and the view of R’ Yehoshua is in regard to blood and libations — concerning which Rabban Gamliel says they should not be taken down, and R’ Yehoshua says they should be taken down. R’ Shimon says: [Whether] the offering is valid and the libations are invalid, [or] the libations are valid and the offering is invalid, even if both are invalid — the offering should not be taken down while the libations should be taken down.
