Cursed be anyone who makes an idol or casts an image, anything abhorrent to the LORD, the work of an artisan's hands, and sets it up in secret.' And all the people shall respond, saying, 'Amen' — the first curse condemns idolatry: images and idols ('pesel u-massekhah') are abhorrent. The people's 'Amen' (so be it) joins them to the curse: they accept the judgment on violators.
