Sanhedrin 7:6-7

Sanhedrin 7:6

An idolator is a person who worships an idol, sacrifices to it, burns incense to it, pours a libation to it, bows down to it, accepts it as a deity, or tells it that it is his deity. One who hugs, kisses, sweeps, sprinkles, washes, anoints, dresses or puts shoes on an idol doesn’t commit idolatry per se but he does violate a Torah prohibition. One who vows or who swears in the name of an idol violates a Torah prohibition. One who relieves himself in front of Baal Peor or throws a stone at a statue of Mercury is worshipping it (even though these behaviors may be intended to be derogatory because they are part of the idol’s service).

Sanhedrin 7:7

A person who hands his offspring over to the service of Molech is not liable to execution until he hands the child over to the priests of Molech and also passes the child through fire. If he handed the child over to the priests of Molech but did not pass it through fire, or vice versa, he is not liable until he performs both actions. A necromancer is a type of sorcerer who appears to speak from his armpit. A soothsayer speaks with a bone in his mouth. These sorcerors are stoned and those who consult them are cautioned that doing so violates a Torah prohibition.
