Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:15
The command 'take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves' (Hebrew 'shamar me'od') demands utmost vigilance against idolatry. The reason—'ye saw no manner of similitude'—reiterates that God revealed Himself through Word, not form. Any attempt to represent God visually constitutes rebellion against His self-revelation. This verse grounds the second commandment in redemptive history—since God chose to reveal Himself through spoken Word at Sinai, any image-based worship violates His revealed will. The Reformed tradition's opposition to religious images rests on this foundation.
