Among the things that the Mishna prohibits selling to a pagan idol worshiper are:
itzterubalin – pinecones
benot shuaḥ – white figs
petotarot – stems (of the abovementioned itzterubalin and benot shuaḥ, which were hung by their stems in front of the idol)
levona - frankincense
tarnegol lavan -a white rooster
All of these are forbidden to be sold since a Jew is not allowed to assist a non-Jew in performing pagan idol worship. As one of the seven Noaḥide laws, such worship is prohibited to the non-Jew, and therefore forbidden to the Jew because of lifnei iver lo titen mikhshol – the prohibition against putting a stumbling block before the blind (see Lev. 19:14).
We explore the mythic history of the white rooster.
