Chasidut zu Schemot 20:19

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֹּ֥ה תֹאמַ֖ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַתֶּ֣ם רְאִיתֶ֔ם כִּ֚י מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי עִמָּכֶֽם׃

Der Herr sprach zu Mose: Also sprich zu den Kindern Israel: Ihr habt gesehen, dass ich vom Himmel mit euch geredet.

Kedushat Levi

Exodus 20,19.“You have seen that I have spoken with you ‎from the heavens. Do not make in addition to Me a deity of ‎silver, etc.” G’d tells the people that just as He conducts the ‎fortunes of the universe by glorifying in His people Israel ‎exclusively, by having given His Torah only to them, after having ‎introduced the Decalogue with the words: “I am the Lord, your ‎G’d, etc.;” although the Torah could have found in the universe ‎complementary partners more outstanding than the Israelites, He ‎chose the Jewish people as the most appropriate partner for the ‎Torah to demonstrate His love for this people. One of the reasons ‎was that He had found in the Jewish people a nation yearning for ‎guidance from heavenly sources rather than from mortal human ‎sources. Seeing that this is so, G’d warns the people not to ‎commit a fatal error by treating any other deity as if it were on a ‎par with Him. It would be the greatest insult to Hashem to ‎be compared by His people to any other phenomenon in the ‎universe. ‎
