출애굽기 34:15 할라카: Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs

The prohibitive commandment concerning such worship is deducted from what Holy Writ says: "Nor serve them" (Ex. 20.5; Deut. 5.9). Whereat are these words directed? At all other manner of worship, save bowing down, slaughtering sacrifice, burning incense, and compounding drink offering; for whosoever employs any of these kinds of worship to revive any form of idolatry, is guilty, although it be not the particular manner of its worship. For example? If one offered a drink offering to Peor, or slaughtered a sacrifice to Mercury, he is guilty, as it is said: "He that sacrificeth unto the gods, save unto the Lord only, shall be utterly destroyed" (Ex. 22.19.). Inasmuch as slaughtering sacrifices was included in worship generally, why was it singled out and separated from other modes of service? To teach you, even as slaughtering sacrifices is a particular manner of service dedicated to the Name, and whosoever offers sacrifices to another god is guilty of an offense punishable by stoning, whether its mode of worship was to slaughter sacrifices for it or whether it was not, even so every service which is dedicated to the Name, if he employed it in his service to another god, whether its manner of worship be so or not, is guilty. Even because thereof it is, moreover, said: "For thou shalt bow down to no other god" (Ex. 34.14), to prescribe guilt for bowing down to idolatry even if its mode of service be not so. So is also the law pertaining to offering incense and drink-offering, forsooth, stone-casting and pouring drink offering is one and the same thing.³Ibid. C.

It is forbidden to partake of a wedding feast which an idolater makes for his son or his daughter; even to eat or drink one's own is forbidden to an Israelite, as it would be eating in company of idolaters. Whenceonward is it forbidden to eat with such an idolater? From the commencement of preparation for the feast, the entire duration of the feast, and thirty days thereafter. If the idolater make a special feast in honor of such nuptials, even after the lapse of thirty days, it is forbidden to eat with him until the lapse of twelve months. All this distant separation is ordained because of idolatry, even as it is said: "And one call thee, and thou art of his sacrifice. And lest thou take of his daughters unto thy sons…. and when his daughters go astray after their gods" (Ex. 34.15–16).¹⁹Ibid. 8a.C.
