שֶׁלֹּא לֵהָנוֹת בְּמָמוֹן עִיר הַנִּדַּחַת – שֶׁנִּמְנַעְנוּ מִלֵּהָנוֹת וְלָקַחַת דָּבָר מִמָּמוֹן עִיר הַנִּדַּחַת, וְעַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר (דברים יג יח) וְלֹא יִדְבַּק בְּיָדְךָ מְאוּמָה מִן הַחֵרֶם. וְגַם בִּכְלַל הַלָּאו הַזֶּה גַּם כֵּן כָּל דְּבַר עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְתִּי לְמַעְלָה בְּסֵדֶר וְהָיָה עֵקֶב בְּאַזְהָרָה אַחֲרוֹנָה שֶׁבַּסֵּדֶר (מצוה תכט), וּבָהּ כָּתַבְתִּי מִשָּׁרְשֵׁי מִצְוָה זוֹ, וְכָל עִנְיָנָהּ שָׁוֶה.
To not benefit from the property of an enticed city: That we have been prevented from benefiting and taking from the property of an enticed city. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 13:18), “And no thing from the anathema shall stick to your hand.” And also included in this negative commandment is anything from idolatry, as I have written above in the Order of Vehayah Ekev in the last warning (negative commandment) in the Order (Sefer HaChinukh 429). And in it, I wrote about the roots of this commandment, and all of its content is the same.
