Verse 18 is found in chapter 4 of Deuteronomy. Moses warns against making images of God. Israel saw no form when God spoke from the fire, and therefore must not reduce his divine identity to representations of animals, celestial bodies, or human beings. The prohibition of idolatry protects God’s transcendence and reminds Israel that the covenant relationship is based on hearing his word, not controlling his presence through images.
