הַמִּזְבֵּחַ מְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת הָרָאוּי לוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כָּל הָרָאוּי לָאִשִּׁים, אִם עָלָה לֹא יֵרֵד, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ו), הִוא הָעֹלָה עַל מוֹקְדָה עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ. מָה 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 וָזֶה פְּסוּלִין, הַזֶּבַח לֹא יֵרֵד, וְהַנְּסָכִים יֵרֵדוּ:
The altar sanctifies that which is fit for it. Rabbi Yehoshua says: Anything that is fit for the fire - if it went up on the [altar], it does not come down, as it says (Leviticus 6:2) "It is the Olah [an offering that is entirely burnt] on the fire on the altar" - just as a Olah which is fit for the fire - if it went up [on the altar] it does not come down, so too anything fit for the fire - if it went up, it does not come down. Rabban Gamliel says: Anything fit for the altar - if it went up, it does not come down, as it says, "It is the Olah on the fire on the altar ." Just as the Olah which is fit for the altar - if it went up, it does not come down, so too anything which is fit for the altar - if it went up, it does not come down. The only [practical] differences between the positions of Rabban Gamliel and Rabbi Yehoshua are the blood and the [accompanying] libations, regarding which Rabban Gamliel says do not come down, but Rabbi Yehoshua says do come down. Rabbi Shimon says: [If] the sacrifice is valid but the libations are invalid, [or if] the libations are valid but the sacrifice is invalid, [or] even [if] both are invalid, the sacrifice does not come down, but the libations do come down.
Mishnah 2ב׳
וְאֵלּוּ אִם עָלוּ, לֹא יֵרְדוּ. הַלָּן, וְהַטָּמֵא, וְהַיּוֹצֵא, וְהַנִּשְׁחָט חוּץ לִזְמַנּוֹ, וְחוּץ לִמְקוֹמוֹ, וְשֶׁקִּבְּלוּ פְסוּלִים, וְזָרְקוּ אֶת דָּמוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטָה בַלַּיְלָה, וְשֶׁנִּשְׁפַּךְ דָּמָהּ, וְשֶׁיָּצָא דָמָהּ חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, אִם עָלְתָה, תֵּרֵד. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, לֹא תֵרֵד, שֶׁהָיָה רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כֹּל שֶׁפְּסוּלוֹ בַקֹּדֶשׁ, הַקֹּדֶשׁ מְקַבְּלוֹ. לֹא הָיָה פְסוּלוֹ בַקֹּדֶשׁ, אֵין הַקֹּדֶשׁ מְקַבְּלוֹ:
The following [are items] which if went up [to the altar], do not come down. [A sacrificial item] that was left overnight [and then taken up on the altar], or was impure [and then taken up], or went out [of the Temple courtyard], or was slaughtered [with the intention of acting] outside its proper place or after its time, or if ineligible people received its blood or dashed its blood. Rabbi Yehudah says: [If] it was slaughtered at night, [or] its blood was spilled, or [if] its blood left the [confines of the] curtains [of the Tabernacle, later - walls of the Temple] - if it went up [to the altar], it comes down. Rabbi Shimon says: It does not come down, for Rabbi Shimon was wont to say: Any sacrifice that became invalid inside the Temple [precincts] - the Temple accepts it; if it did not become invalid inside the Temple [precincts, but outside them] - the Temple does not accept it.
