18. It is a negative commandment to have no benefit from an idol, from its offering or its attendants, or anything done on its behalf.
Devarim 7:26 (OJB) Neither shalt thou bring a to’evah (abomination) into thine bais, lest thou be a cherem like it; but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cherem.
Deuteronomy 7:26 (CJB) Don't bring something abhorrent into your house, or you will share in the curse that is on it; instead, you are to detest it completely, loathe it utterly; for it is set apart for destruction.
Devarim 13:17 (OJB) And there shall cling none of the accursed thing to thine hand; ...
Deuteronomy 13:17 (CJB) none of what has been set apart for destruction is to stay in your hands. ...
If a person derives benefit from any one of these, he violates these two prohibitions. Any object of idol-worship that was not made by human hands, such as a hill or a tree that was planted originally for bearing fruit and not for idolatry, or a domestic animal to which no act was done for the purpose of idolatry - it is prmissable to have benefit from all of them; but from that which is upon them, it is forbidden to benefit.
