פירוש על עבודה זרה 107:8

Yesterday we saw two baraitot that contradicted each other. According to one baraita, if one worships another person’s animal, the animal is not prohibited. The other baraita hinted that an item worshipped under duress is prohibited.
Hizkiyah solves the contradiction in a different way. The baraita that prohibited the animal referred to a case where the animal was not worshipped but rather the idol was placed on it. Such an act renders the animal prohibited although just bowing down to it does not.

Ada b. Ahava offers another solution to the contradiction. Although in general if one simply worships another person’s property, the property remains permitted, if he actually does something physical, the animal (or other object) can become prohibited.
