Sefer Hamitzvot for Children

By Malka Touger

Negative Commandment 12 (For Children)

You shall not have kneeling stones

Leviticus 26:1 "Nor shall you install a kneeling stone in your land, to bow down upon it"

Idol-worshipers often placed a special decorated stone before their idol and then use it to kneel upon while they prayed to their idols.

We are forbidden to have such a stone, even if we intend to worship HaShem on it.
