Exodus 34:17
"Thou shalt make thee no molten gods."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. Made of a melted liquid, whether gold, or silver, or brass, poured into a mould; and though graven images are not mentioned, they

are included, a part being put for the whole, as appears not only from the injunction to break images in general, whether graven or molten, Exo 34:13 but from the second command, which expressly forbids the making and worshipping of them; but "molten" ones are particularly mentioned, because it is probable they were chiefly such the Canaanites worshipped, and especially, because the calf the Israelites had lately made and worshipped was a molten one.
