משנה: כֵּיצַד מְבַטְּלָהּ קָטַע רֹאשׁ אוֹזְנָהּ רֹאשׁ חוֹטְמָהּ רֹאשׁ אֶצְבָּעָהּ. פְּחָסָהּ אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא חִיסֵּירָהּ בִּיטְּלָהּ. רָקַק בְּפָנֶיהָ הִשְׁתִּין בְּפָנֶיהָ גֵּרְרָהּ וְזָרַק בָּהּ אֶת הַצּוֹאָה הֲרֵי זוֹ אֵינָהּ בְּטֵילָה. מְכָרָהּ אוֹ מִישְׁכְּנָהּ רִבִּי אוֹמֵר בִּיטֵּל וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים לֹא בִיטֵּל:
MISHNAH: How does one annul it91An idol or one of its appurtenances.? If he cut off the top of its earlobe, the tip of its nose, the tip of its finger. If he disfigured it even though nothing is missing92E. g., by denting the statue with a hammer so that nothing is missing., he annulled it. If he spat in its face, urinated before it, dragged it, threw excrement on it, this is not annulled.93Only permanent damage is acceptable. If he sold or mortgaged it, Rebbi says it is annulled, but the Sages say it is not annulled.

הלכה: כֵּיצַד הוּא מְבַטְּלָהּ כול׳. אָמַר רִבִּי זְעִירָה. הָדָא דְתֵימַר. בְּשֶׁמְּכָרָהּ מִתּוֹךְ שָׁלוֹם. אֲבָל מְכָרָהּ מִתּוֹךְ הַקְפָּדָה דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל בְּטֵילָה. וְהָיָה כִי יִרְעַב וְהִתְקַצַּף וְקִלֵּל בְּמַלְכּוֹ וגו׳. זְעוּר בַּר חִינְנָה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי חֲנִינָה. בְּשֶׁמְּכָרָהּ לַצּוֹרֵף נֶחְלְקוּ. אֲבָל אִם מְכָרָהּ לְעוֹבְדָהּ דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל. אֵינָהּ בְּטֵילָה. רַב יִרְמְיָה בְשֵׁם רַב. בְּשֶׁמְּכָרָהּ לְעוֹבְדֶיהָ נֶחְלְקוּ. אֲבָל אִם מְכָרָהּ לַצּוֹרֵף דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל. בְּטֵילָה הִיא. רִבִּי יַעֲקֹב בַּר אָחָא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל. רִבִּי הִילָא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ בְּמַחֲלוֹקֶת. וְאַתְיָיא דְּרִבִּי חֲנִינָה כרִבִּי יוֹחָנָן וּדְרַב יִרְמְיָה כְּרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ. מַאי כְדוֹן. בְּשֶׁמְּכָרָהּ לַצּוֹרֵף נֶחְלְקוּ. אֲבָל אִם מְכָרָהּ לְעוֹבְדֶיהָ דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל. אֵינָהּ בְּטֵילָה.
HALAKHAH: “How does one annul it,” etc? Rebbi Ze`ira said, this is if he sold it in peace93Only permanent damage is acceptable.. But if he sold it in ill-will, everybody agrees that it is annulled; it happens that he is hungry, falls into a rage, and curses his king94Is. 8:21. The Babli uses the same verse as a reason for which a contemptuous treatment of an idol is not an annulment; 53a. etc. Ze`ur bar Ḥinena in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: They disagreed in case he sold it to a goldsmith95The disagreement between R. Joḥanan and Rav is formulated in the Babli (53a) about whether the idol is sold to a Jewish or a Gentile goldsmith, without exact attribution of authorship.. But if he sold it to its worshipper, everybody agrees that it is not annulled. Rav Jeremiah in the name of Rav: they disagreed if he sold it to its worshippers. But if he sold it to a goldsmith everybody agrees that it is annulled. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: the opinion of everybody. Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: in dispute96It is not spelled out what they are referring to. The next sentence makes this clear.. It turns out that Rebbi Ḥanina held with Rebbi Joḥanan and Rav Jeremiah with Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish. What about it? They disagreed in case he sold it to a goldsmith. But if he sold it to one of its worshippers, everybody agrees that it is not annulled97The decision follows R, Joḥanan and the goldsmith must be a Jew who will melt down the idol..
