(Devarim 16:22) "And you shall not set up for yourself a monument (matzeivah), which the L-rd your G-d hates": This tells me only of a matzeivah. Whence do I derive (the same for) an asheirah and idolatrous images? It follows, viz.: If a matzeivah, which was "loved" for the fathers, is "hated" for the sons, then an asheirah and idolatrous images, which were "hated" for the fathers, how much more so are they hated for the sons!
