Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

Verse 23 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.
