Deuteronomy 4:15

Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves

for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day the Lord spake unto you
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.
