>>10024851Exodus 20:2-6
>“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall not have other gods beside me. You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or serve them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their ancestors’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation; but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.”In context it's pretty obvious he's telling the Israelites not to worship other gods. A few chapters later (Exodus 25) he asks Moses to carve golden cherubs on the ark of the covenant, so depictions of heavenly beings are clearly ok.
