Moses’ concerns were exclusively religious.
His intent was to proclaim knowledge of the
true God as he manifested himself in his
creative works, to proclaim a right
understanding of humankind, the world, and
history that knowledge of the true God entails
—and to proclaim the truth concerning these
matters in the face of the false religious
notions dominant throughout the world of his
day.
John Stek

Just as powerful earthly kings, to indicate their claim to dominion, erect an image of themselves in the provinces of their empire where they do not personally appear, so man is placed upon earth in God's image as God's sovereign emblem. He is really only God's representative, summoned to maintain and enforce God's claim to dominion over the earth.
