Talmud su Deuteronomio 12:3
וְנִתַּצְתֶּ֣ם אֶת־מִזְבּחֹתָ֗ם וְשִׁבַּרְתֶּם֙ אֶת־מַצֵּ֣בֹתָ֔ם וַאֲשֵֽׁרֵיהֶם֙ תִּשְׂרְפ֣וּן בָּאֵ֔שׁ וּפְסִילֵ֥י אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֖ם תְּגַדֵּע֑וּן וְאִבַּדְתֶּ֣ם אֶת־שְׁמָ֔ם מִן־הַמָּק֖וֹם הַהֽוּא׃
E abbatterai i loro altari, spezzerai le loro colonne e brucerai i loro Asherim con il fuoco; e abbatterete le immagini scolpite dei loro dei; e distruggerete il loro nome da quel luogo.
Jerusalem Talmud Avodah Zarah
It is written89Lev. 26:1., do not make idols for yourselves, statue and stele you shall not erect for yourselves. Is not making the same as erecting? Rebbi Hila said, making is from new; erecting, if it falls down one shall not re-erect it. It is written90Deut. 12:3. The verse continues, their statues you shall cut down., you shall tear down their altars and break their steles. From where to apply one to the other? Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya said, it was said to refer to both sides; either breaking, or cutting down, or tearing down for each of them.

Tractate Soferim
When one is writing the Tetragrammaton he may not respond even if the king greets him.21All his attention must be concentrated on the sanctity of the divine name. If he was about to write two or three divine names successively,22E.g. The Lord, the Lord, God in Ex. 34, 6. he may pause between them and respond. After dipping the reed-pen in ink, he may not start with the letters of a divine name23Because a pen full of ink may cause a blot. but with the preceding letter.24Which, if blotted, can be erased or wiped away. One who erases a single letter of a divine name transgresses a negative commandment. R. Simeon said:25Citing the Scriptural basis of the regulation. On account of this it is stated, Ye shall destroy their name out of that place. Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.26Deut. 12, 3f, i.e. the name of God must not be erased.

Tractate Sefer Torah
One who wipes away26In Sof. V, 6, ‘erases’. a single letter of a divine name transgresses a negative commandment. R. Ishmael27‘R. Simeon’ in Sof. loc. cit. says: On account of this it is stated, Ye shall destroy their name out of that place;28Deut. 12, 3. and it is also stated, Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.29ibid. 4; i.e. the name of God must never be erased. It is permissible, however, to wipe away ink that dropped on the writing,30Even of a divine name. since one’s intention is only to rectify it.
