English Translation[edit]
If one finds a vessel and on it a drawing of the sun or a drawing of the moon, or a drawing of a dragon, he should cast them into the Salt Sea. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says; if they are treated with honor, they are forbidden, if they are treated disparagingly, they are permitted. Rabbi Yose says; One should grind it (the vessel) to powder and disperse it among the wind, or hurl it into the sea. The Sages said; Even though it might become manure? As it is said: "And let nothing of the ban cling to your hand" (Devarim/Deuteronomy 13:18).
