Translation:Mishnah/Seder Nezikin/Tractate Sanhedrin/Chapter 7/6/Translation

The idolater -

is doesn't matter whether one commits idolatrous worship

or makes a sacrifice or burns incense

or pours a libation or prostrates oneself

or accepts is as a god or says "you are my god".

But whoever embraces it or kisses it or honours it

or sprinkles on it or washes it or anoints it

or dresses it or puts shoes on it,

transgresses a negative commandment.

Whoever makes a vow in its name or takes an oath in its name,

transgresses a negative commandment.

But whoever relieves themselves to Baal Peor, that is its worship;

whoever throws a stone at a Merkolis herm,

that is its worship and that person is therefore transgressing a positive commandment.
