HALAKHAH: “If an investigative unit came to a village,” etc. In times of a religious persecution all is forbidden; it is impossible that there was not a single Jew who worshipped it under duress. This implies that an idol which was worshipped by a Jew is never invalidated. Rebbi Yose said, you infer from this that an idol which was worshipped by a Jew under duress is never invalidated.

Rebbi Immi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: If the investigative unit comes in peaceful or warring manner.
