“The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:”
The likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters under the earth; -- even reptiles and fish are forbidden. The catalog reaches near-completion with these lowly creatures. The breadth of the prohibition (from human to divine in form, from beasts to insects to fish) insists that creation itself cannot be the vehicle of divine representation.
