Deuteronomy 4:16,17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Lest ye corrupt yourselves Corrupt your minds with mean thoughts of God, your hearts by suffering any creature to alienate your affections from him, or your ways by worshipping him in a corrupt manner, or by falling into idolatry. And make you a graven image For worship, or for the representation of God; which he forbids under the penalty of his displeasure. The likeness of any beast, &c. Dr. Chandler observes, that “this is the very picture of Egypt, which had gods of all sorts; dead persons deified, male and female, and numerous images of them; who worshipped as deities bulls, cows, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, birds, the ibis and hawk, serpents, crocodiles, river-horses, together with the sun, moon, and stars of heaven.”
