Mesorat%20hashas for Zevachim 9:4

כְּשֵׁם שֶׁאִם עָלוּ לֹא יֵרְדוּ, כָּךְ אִם יָרְדוּ לֹא יַעֲלוּ. וְכֻלָּן שֶׁעָלוּ חַיִּים לְרֹאשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, יֵרֵדוּ. עוֹלָה שֶׁעָלְתָה חַיָּה לְרֹאשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, תֵּרֵד. שְׁחָטָהּ בְּרֹאשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, יַפְשִׁיט וִינַתַּח בִּמְקוֹמָהּ:

Just as [items that] went up [to the altar] do not come down, so too if they came down, they do not go [back] up. And all of these [that] went up alive to the top of the altar [must] come down. An <i>Olah</i> that went up to the top of the altar alive must come down; [but] if it was slaughtered on top of the altar, it is skinned and dismembered in its place.
