출애굽기 22:19의 Chasidut

I have seen those with expressions of consternation coming before me, and in their interpretations turn the sacred into profane to such an extent that they explain the names of idols as holy. I refer you to what the Shaar Efraim writes in his responsa (siman 64-65) concerning those who interpret the sacred as profane, and all the more so those who interpret the profane as sacred, that it is tantamount to brining idols into the Holy Temple God forbid. We even find in the Talmud (Chaggigah, 14a) that in response to his interpretation, Rabbi Yossi haGalili says to Rabbi Akiva, “Akiva! For how long will you make the Shekhina profane!” It is written in the Zohar (Pinchas, 234b), “Since there are elohim acherim (false gods) on this it is said (Shemot, 22:19), ‘he who offers sacrifices to any god, save Hashem alone, will be utterly destroyed.’ This is in order not to mix up Elohim Chayiim (The living God) with elohim acherim (false gods).” It is said in the Talmud (Sanhedrin, 38b), “(Shemot, 24:21) al tamer bo (do not provoke Him), and read this as, ‘al tamireini bo (do not exchange Me for him.).” On this it is written in the Sefer Chasisdim (siman 936), “Do not change the Name into something mundane, for we are taught that you may not make an exact scale replica of the any part of the Hoy Temple.” The legal authorities discuss the law if a ritual scribe errs, and while writing, inadvertently sanctifies a mundane name. They equate this with dedicating a blemished animal to the altar. In the Midrash Tanchuma (Terumah, 3), we find Turnusrufus asking Rabbi Akiva why he called his dogs in the name of Turnusrufus and his wife. Rabbi Akiva answered, “What is the difference between you and my dogs? You take sticks and stones and call them by the name of the Holy One, blessed be He.” This blunder is a result of not adequately receiving the knowledge of our Rabbis, and to such an extent that they have built altars to themselves and their forms, for they assume that their own ideas represent the teachings of the Torah.
