16 So that you may not be turned to evil ways and make for yourselves an image in the form of any living thing, male or female,


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 16. Lest the soul should turn away from the Divine and worship what proceeds from its own evil proprium, and make a god of it, and imagine the desires and thoughts that proceed therefrom, and which are from the loves of self and the world, and merely put on a semblance of good in externals, to be genuine good and truth.
