We are forbidden from serving an idol even in a manner other than one of the four types of service which we have mentioned.
This mitzvah forbids worshiping idols through any act considered service to them, even if that act is not one of the four standard forms of worship. If a particular idol is customarily served in a unique way — whether by throwing a stone, offering food, or another practice — performing that act constitutes idolatry. The Torah commands complete separation from all forms of idol service.
