Extending the Altar's Fitness to Every Offering

Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 305:1

"And you shall sacrifice upon it your burnt offerings and [your peace offerings]" (Exodus 20:24). I would know only of the burnt offering and the peace offering; from where do I learn the rest of all the holy offerings? Scripture teaches, saying, "for like the sin offering, so is the guilt offering" (Leviticus 7:7) - for the verse need not say "most holy" except to declare fit all the holy offerings. I would know only of the sin offering, burnt offering, and peace offering; from where do I learn the rest of all the communal offerings? Scripture teaches, saying, "your flock and your herd." This implies that one brings the holy offerings [and the non-sacred]. "In every place where I cause My name to be mentioned" - say: with what does the matter deal?
