Talmud sobre Números 15:29

Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥmani in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: If one says to it, you are my god, there is disagreement between Rebbi²⁷⁸This disagreement is not mentioned in any other source. It is possible that a name should be inserted here. and the Sages. If he (prostrated himself)²⁶⁶It is clear that one has to read ומנשק “and kisses” instead of ומשתחוה “and prostrates himself”. Embracing and kissing are not acts of worship., what is the rule? Rebbi Joḥanan said, everybody agrees that if he lowered his body²⁷⁹This is prostrating which by the verse was defined as an idolatrous act., he is guilty. What is the difference between raising and lowering his body, and raising and lowering his lips²⁸⁰This is declaring the idol as one’s god, which also can be done by only moving body parts, the lips. In the Babli, 65b, R. Johanan extends his argument by criminalizing a person who prevents his ox from eating while threshing by shouting at it.? Rebbi Joḥanan said, following disagreement²⁸¹The nature of this disagreement cannot be determined. It is possible that R. Joḥanan by his argument implies that embracing and kissing idols are capital crimes.. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, following the distinction²⁸²The distinction made in the Mishnah between idolatrous acts which are capital crimes and those which are simple transgressions.. Rebbi Zeˋira said, a verse supports Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: One rule should be for you, for the one acting in error²⁸³Num. 15:29; the reference to idolatrous acts is explained in Note 248.. This only refers to what represents an action. The one who embraces (and who prostrates himself)²⁶⁶It is clear that one has to read ומנשק “and kisses” instead of ומשתחוה “and prostrates himself”. Embracing and kissing are not acts of worship., which are not action, from where²⁸⁴Therefore, embracing and kissing cannot be capital crimes since they do not fit the criterion for a purification sacrifice in case the act was unintentional.?
