Commentary for Avodah Zarah 102:24

אמר מר בכלים שנשתמשו בהן לעבודת כוכבים הכתוב מדבר הא מקומות כתיב אם אינו ענין למקומות דלא מיתסרי דכתיב (דברים יב, ב) אלהיהם על ההרים ולא ההרים אלהיהם

The Master said [above]: “The verse refers to the vessels which are used for idolatry.” But “places” is written! Since, it cannot refer to places, which are not prohibited, for it is written, “Their gods upon the high mountains,” not their mountains which are their gods, apply it to the subject of vessels.
