Musar for Yoma 141:7
מתקיף לה רבה בר רב שילא ואימא דמפסיק ליה בשעיר הנעשה בחוץ הכתיב ויצא ועשה
- To this Rabba son of R'Shila demurred: But perhaps he interrupted with the he-goat to be offered up outside? - Surely it is written: 'He come forth and offer, etc.' - But is the rest of the section written in accord with the actual order?
Mesilat Yesharim
The elevation was to such an extent that its kind, all over the world, was blessed, as our sages stated in a Midrash. So too, the food and drink which the holy man eats elevates that food or drink as if it had actually been offered on the altar. This is similar to what our sages, of blessed memory, said: "one who brings a gift to a Torah scholar is as if he had offered first-fruits (Bikurim)" (Ketuvot 105b), and "[if a man wishes to offer a wine libation upon the altar], let him fill the throat of the Torah scholars with wine" (Yomah 71a).
