Deuteronomy 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:15

in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;
and therefore, as they had nothing that directed and led them, so they had nothing that could be a temptation to them, to make any form or likeness, and worship it.

15 Since you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire, take care and watch yourselves closely,

17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,
