Idol worship is like a sheretz, and the things that pertain to [the idol] are like a sheretz, as it is said: "You are to consider [carved images] abominable (sheketz), yes, abominable" (Deut. 7:26, Fox tr.; see Lev. 11:43). Rabbi Akiva says, [idol worship] is like a menstruant, as it is said (Is. 30:22:): "You shall cast them out like a menstruant. 'Out!' you will say to them." Just as a menstruant defiles by carrying, so too idol worship defiles by carrying.
