Commentary for Avodah Zarah 93:13

בעי רב פפא המשתחוה לבהמה צמרה מהו לתכלת

Papa asked: What is the rule if one worshipped an animal; may its wool be used for blue thread?

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah

R. Papa asks the same kind of question again, and the Talmud notices the repetition. If he is asking about using the blue thread to make clothes for priests, well that is the same as the question asked by Rami b. Hama about making a minchah out of wheat that had been worshipped. And if the question is about tzitzit, that is a personal, non-Temple mitzvah, and that is the same question asked by Resh Lakish about the using a lulav that came from an asherah tree.
