SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:22
Ni te levantarás estatua; lo cual aborrece el SEÑOR tu Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. Neither shalt thou set up any image , etc.] Graven or molten, of man, beast, fish, or fowl; the word signifies a “statue or pillar” which was set up for idolatry; for, as Aben Ezra observes, what was not set up for idolatry was not forbidden, as when erected in memory of any action or remarkable event; (see Joshua 22:10), etc. which the Lord thy God hateth ; as he does every species, of idolatry, or that has any tendency to it; it being so opposite to his being, perfections, and glory; and therefore nothing should be done like it, because it is so hateful to him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-22 - Care is taken for the due administration of justice. All persona regards must be laid aside, so that right is done to all, and wrong to none. Care is taken to prevent following the idolatrous customs of the heathen. Nothing belies God more, or tends more to corrupt the minds of men, than representing and worshipping, by an image, that God, who is an almighty and eternal Spirit, present every where. Alas! even in gospel days, and under a better dispensation, established upon bette promises, there is a tendency to set up idols, under one form of another, in the human heart __________________________________________________________________
