“Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:”
'You shall not make you a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth; -- the second commandment prohibits carved or cast images of anything in creation. The comprehensiveness (heaven, earth, waters) means that no visible thing can represent God. The prohibition protects the transcendence of the invisible God.
