אי לעובדם אפילו שילשול קטן נמי אין הכי נמי ומסיפיה דקרא נפקא דתניא אשר בארץ לרבות ימים ונהרות הרים וגבעות מתחת לרבות שילשול קטן

But if it is a matter of worshipping them, even a tiny worm is also [prohibited]! That is indeed so, and this is derived from the continuation of the verse; for it has been taught: “Or that is in the earth,” this is to include seas, rivers, mountains and hills; “beneath,” this is to include a tiny worm.
