וְלֹא־תָבִ֤יא תֽוֹעֵבָה֙ אֶל־בֵּיתֶ֔ךָ וְהָיִ֥יתָ חֵ֖רֶם כָּמֹ֑הוּ שַׁקֵּ֧ץ ׀ תְּשַׁקְּצֶ֛נּוּ וְתַעֵ֥ב ׀ תְּֽתַעֲבֶ֖נּוּ כִּי־חֵ֥רֶם הֽוּא׃ (פ)
A nie wnoś ohydy w dom twój, abyś nie uległ zaklęciu, jak ono: brzydzić się tém będziesz, a pogardzać niém, bo zaklęte to!
Tosefta Zavim
Idol worship is like a sheretz, and the things that pertain to [the idol] are like a sheretz, as it is said: "You are to consider [carved images] abominable (sheketz), yes, abominable" (Deut. 7:26, Fox tr.; see Lev. 11:43). Rabbi Akiva says, [idol worship] is like a menstruant, as it is said (Is. 30:22:): "You shall cast them out like a menstruant. 'Out!' you will say to them." Just as a menstruant defiles by carrying, so too idol worship defiles by carrying.
