"You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven. You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make yourselves gods of gold." (Exodus 20:22-23)
God spoke plainly to Moses and to Israel so that no objects in the physical realm would be created in memory of the time when the LORD spoke to the nation of Israel. I am sure the people would have been prone to mimic Egypt by creating their own idolatry to memorialize the moment they encountered God at the Mountain called Sinai. God however did not speak through any physical object in the physical realm. He spoke plainly so that the people would give attention to His Words rather than an object. Therefore we today, must take more earnest heed to set our attention to HIS WORD than any other thing!
