Deuteronomy 5:6
4 The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.
5 At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 You shall have no other gods before Me.
8 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
