Deuteronomy 4:12-19

12Then the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of the words, but you saw no form—there was only a voice.

13So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to follow, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

14The Lord commanded me at that time to teach you the statutes and judgments, so that you might do them in the land which you are going over to possess.

15“So pay attention and watch yourselves carefully—for you did not see any form [of God] on the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire—

16so that you do not act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved or sculpted image [to worship] in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, or of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

18the likeness of anything that crawls on the ground, or of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth.

19And beware that you do not raise your eyes toward heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and let yourselves be led astray and worship them and serve them, [mere created bodies] which the Lord your God has allotted to [serve and benefit] all the peoples under the whole heaven.
