The Ark was the only sacred object that the Jews worshipped, and part of that were the carved figures that adorned the Ark. Of course, the temple itself, which was just a stone replica of the Tent, was, in a way, a sacred object. And of course, the Scriptures, also made by human hands, are also sacred objects, and frequent adored with pictures of holy people. The Muslims, of course, dont do this. Are you sure you are not a Muslim?
I love watching you slither!
The commandments are given in an order, and it is the second in that order that condemns the iconic idolatry of the catholic abomination.

The Ark was not worshiped; in fact, in practice only the high priest even entered to it, and then only after filling the place with enough smoke that he couldn’t even see it.
They worshiped only YHWH.
