The prohibition against making images includes: A. Images in the abode of the Shechinah, which are images of seraphim, ofanim, and ministering angels. B. The image of a person. C. The image of the sun, moon, and stars. D. The image of the Temple and its vessels, such as a house in the shape of the hall, the courtyard, or the azarah, as well as the image of the table, the menorah, and the altars.
