신명기 12:30의 탈무드

MISHNAH: Proclos ben Ploslos¹¹⁰In the Babli פלוספוס which can be read פִלוֹסֳפוֹס “philosopher”; in the Venice edition of Alfasi פלופלוס, but in most sources, including Maimonides’s autograph Mishnah Commentary the name is written as in the Yerushalmi Mishnah. asked Rabban Gamliel in Acco when he was taking a bath in the Bath of Aphrodite¹¹¹According to Maimonides there is no problem since Aphrodite is the symbol of the planet Venus, which was exempted from the general prohibition of pagan symbols in Halakhah 3 Note 83.. He said to him, it is written in your Torah, nothing banned should stick to your hand¹¹²Deut. 13:18.: why are you bathing in the Bath of Aphrodite? He said to him, one does not answer in the bath¹¹³One may not discuss religious subjects while naked. Cf. Berakhot 2:3 Notes 116–119.. When he left he told him, I did not come into her domain, she came into my domain. One does not say, the bath was built as adornment for Aphrodite but one says, Aphrodite was made as adornment of the bath.
Another explanation. If one gave you lots of money, would you enter your temple naked, after an emission, or urinating before it? But this one stands over the sewer and everybody is urinating in its presence. It only says their gods¹¹⁴Deut. 12:30; the verse which is the basis of Mishnah 6.; what is treated as a divinity is forbidden, what is not treated as a divinity is not forbidden.
