I'll give it a try.
The voice that makes the statement in Exodus is reserving worship for itself. The
passage means don't worship any graven images, etc. The voice is not from God, because

Interesting. So are most gods, and in particular the god of the
hebrew bible. So perhaps the author of that commandment
