Commentary for Avodah Zarah 98:3
נטל הימנה כרכור אסור בהנאה ארג בו את הבגד אסור בהנאה נתערב באחרים ואחרים באחרים כולן אסורין בהנאה ר"א אומר יוליך הנאה לים המלח אמרו לו אין פדיון לעבודת כוכבים:
If one took [a piece of wood] from it [to use as] a shuttle, it is forbidden to be used. If he wove a garment with it, it is forbidden to be used. If [the garment) became mixed with others, and these with others, they are all forbidden to be used. Rabbi Eliezer says: let him cast the advantage [he derives] into the Dead Sea. They said to him: there is no process of redemption for an idol.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
This section teaches the same thing that was learned in the previous section, only it uses a different example. Here the wood was used to make a shuttle, a piece of wood used on a loom to weave cloth. Rabbi Eliezer and the Sages have the same dispute on this section of the mishnah as they did in the previous one.
