“The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,”
The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air, -- the prohibition extends to animal images: no beast or bird may be represented. The comprehensiveness (land animals, flying birds) suggests that no creature can adequately represent the transcendent God.
