וְאַתֶּ֨ם בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֗ה אִ֤ישׁ גִּלּוּלָיו֙ לְכ֣וּ עֲבֹ֔דוּ וְאַחַ֕ר אִם־אֵינְכֶ֖ם שֹׁמְעִ֣ים אֵלָ֑י וְאֶת־שֵׁ֤ם קָדְשִׁי֙ לֹ֣א תְחַלְּלוּ־ע֔וֹד בְּמַתְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם וּבְגִלּוּלֵיכֶֽם׃
Pour vous, maison d’Israël, ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu, que chacun aille donc adorer ses idoles, et après cela [on verra] si vous ne m’écoutez pas; vous ne profanerez plus mon saint nom par vos offrandes et vos idoles.
Jerusalem Talmud Nedarim
Idolatry is worse than all others: “But if you should err and not fulfill all these commandments.172Num. 15:22. The rules for purification offerings are given in Lev. 4–5. The appearance of another set of purification offerings in Num. 15:22–28 is explained by the rule that these offerings are only for expiation of inadvertent idolatry (Sifry Num. 111). The Babli, Erubin 69b, equates desecration of the Sabbath and idolatry in severity.” Rebbi Judah bar Pazi said, the desecration of the Name is worse than all others. That is what is written173Truncated from Ez. 20:39.: “But to you, the House of Israel, so says the Eternal, Israel’s God, go and worship everybody his abominations but My holy Name do not desecrate, etc.
