Commentary on Exodus 34:17
The command against 'molten gods' (אֱלֹהֵי מַסֵּכָה, elohei masekah) directly addresses the golden calf incident (32:4). Cast metal idols represent human craftsmanship claiming divine status—the ultimate hubris. This prohibition recalls the second commandment and emphasizes that God cannot be represented by human art. All idolatry reduces the infinite to the finite, the spiritual to the material.
