Vous prendrez donc bien garde à vos âmes, car vous ne vîtes aucune figure au jour où l'Éternel votre Dieu vous parla, en Horeb, du milieu du feu;
Et vous prendrez bien garde à vos âmes (car vous n'avez vu aucune forme au jour où l'Éternel vous parla du milieu du feu, à Horeb),
Vous prendrez donc bien garde à vos âmes, car vous n'avez vu aucune ressemblance au jour que l'Eternel votre Dieu vous parla en Horeb du milieu du feu;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves,.... As to keep all the laws given them, so particularly to avoid idolatry:
for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire; and therefore, as they had nothing that directed and led them, so they had nothing that could be a temptation to them, to make any form or likeness, and worship it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 4:15. Ye saw no manner of similitude — Howsoever God chose to appear or manifest himself, he took care never to assume any describable form. He would have no image worship, because he is a SPIRIT, and they who worship him must worship him in Spirit and in truth. These outward things tend to draw the mind out of itself, and diffuse it on sensible, if not sensual, objects; and thus spiritual worship is prevented, and the Holy Ghost grieved. Persons acting in this way can never know much of the religion of the heart.
