ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף איוב 31:24

"You shall not have any other deities" then states that Israel is quite right regarding what cannot be a deity. Consequently, such non deities must not be idolised nor reproduced in a form that suggests idlolisation, or worse yet, actual worshipping of such a reproduction. This is the meaning of our sages telling us that charut on the tablets is actually cheyrut, i.e. we are free of such childish misconceptions about the nature of who controls the universe and is therefore able to inspire fear and terror. This includes the concept of being free from the threat of death, since sin, i.e. the angel of death himself is subject to the ultimate cause, the living Creator. It also includes the idolatry of the power of money and wealth, the most prevalent form of idol worship in civilised society. The denial of such idolatry is expressed in the final commandment. He who observes the commandment of "you must not covet,” reveals that he is free from that kind of idol worship. This is also the meaning of "do not make with Me any deities of silver and gold." G-d stipulates "I do not share power with money or material wealth." G-d describes Himself as our "husband," warning us not to look elsewhere for sustenance since He assumes exclusive responsibility for this. Also, as a wife, Israel must not commit adultery by consorting with any other deity in whatever manner, nor must Israel rebel against its "husband."

This is similar to how Iyov described how he would spend his wealth, how he would spend it for fulfilling his duties to G-d, and how he would not place his trust in it, as written: "If I put my hope in gold, and to jewelry I said, 'My confidence'" (Iyov 31:24).
