Mishnah 1

(c)What, besides blood that became Pasul, does this include?
(d)In any event, whatever was never fit for the Mizbe'ach that becomes Pasul, must be taken down from the Mizbe'ach. To which category does the Kemitzah of a Minchah that was separated but not yet placed in a K'li Shareis belong?
1)
(a)According to the Tana Kama, the Mizbe'ach renders Kodesh - whatever is fit to be brought on it.
(b)Rebbi Yehoshua interprets this with regard to anything that is fit to go on the fire. Rabban Gamliel - anything that is fit to go on any part of the Mizbe'ach (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(c)Besides blood that became Pasul, this includes Nesachim (the wine libation).
(d)In any event, whatever was never fit for the Mizbe'ach that becomes Pasul, must be taken down from the Mizbe'ach - including the Kemitzah of a Minchah that was separated but not yet placed in a K'li Shareis.
2)
(a)What distinction does Rebbi Shimon draw between a Pasul Korban that is brought on the Mizbe'ach and its Nesachim?
(b)Given that the source of the basic ruling ('Im Alah Lo Yeired') is the Olah, what is the reason for the distinction?
(c)What difference does it make whether the Korban is Kasher and the Nesachim, Pasul, or vice versa?
(d)What if both are Pasul?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
2)
(a)Rebbi Shimon rules that - whereas a Pasul Korban that is brought on the Mizbe'ach is not taken down, its Nesachim are.
(b)Given that the source of the basic ruling ('Im Alah Lo Yeired') is the Olah, the reason for the distinction is - because Nesachim are not similar to an Olah by virtue of the fact that they are not brought in their own right ...
(c)... irrespective of whether the Korban is Kasher and the Nesachim, Pasul, or vice versa (See Tosfos Yom Tov) ...
(d)... or even if both are Pasul.
(e)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yehoshua.

3)

(b)According to Rabban Gamliel, 'Lan' refers to Dam, according to Rebbi Yehoshua - Basar.
(c)The reason for the Din of 'Lo Yerdu' is - because once it arrives on the Mizbe'ach (seeing as it is basically fit for the Mizbe'ach) it becomes 'the bread of the Mizbe'ach'.
(d)The next two sets of cases begin with ...
1. ... 'Nishchat Chutz li'Zemano' - and is followed by 'Nishchat Chutz li'Mekomo' (See Tosfos Yom Tov), and ...

(b)How does he learn this from the Pasuk in Tzav "Zos Toras ha'Olah Hi ha'Olah"?
4)
(a)Rebbi Yehudah rules that if a Korban that was Shechted at night, whose blood was spilt or whose blood was taken out of the Azarah, is brought on to the Mizbe'ach - it must be taken down.

(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
5)
(a)Rebbi Shimon says that - in those three cases too, 'Im Alu, Lo Yerdu' ...
(b)... based on the principle that - whatever became Pasul after it was already Kodesh, the Kodesh accepts it (See Tosfos Yom Tov), and only if the P'sul preceded the Kedushah does it not (in which case 'Im Alu, Yerdu' [See Tosfos Yom Tov]).
(c)He explains the Pasuk in Tzav to mean - 'This is the law of the Olah (there is one law that covers all those that are brought up on the Mizbe'ach - that once they are up, they are not taken down)'.

7)
(a)Rebbi Akiva declares Ba'alei-Mumin Kasher.

(c)We learn in this connection, from the Pasuk in Yisro (in connection with the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah) "ve'Asisa alav es Olosecha ve'es Shelamecha" that - when the Mizbe'ach is Pasul, all Kodshim that have been Shechted in the Azarah are Pasul (See Tosfos Yom Yov), too ...
(d)... even if the animal was already Shechted when the Mizbe'ach becomes Pasul (Ibid.).
