IV. “You Shall Not Make For Yourself a Graven Image . . .”

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2129
The divine injunction included the prohibition of every representation of God
by the hand of man. Deuteronomy explains: “Since you saw no form on the
day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, beware
lest you act corruptly by making a graven image for yourselves, in the form of
any figure….”⁶⁶ It is the absolutely transcendent God who
revealed himself to Israel. “He is the all,” but at the same time
“he is greater than all his works.”⁶⁷ He is “the author
of beauty.”⁶⁸
