Deuteronomy 4:12-19

12And Jehovah spake unto you out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784: ye heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of wordsH1697, but ye sawH7200 no formH8544; only ye heardH8085 a voiceH6963. 13And he declaredH5046 unto you his covenantH1285, which he commandedH6680 you to perform, even the tenH6235 commandments; and he wroteH3789 them upon twoH8147 tables of stoneH68. 14And Jehovah commandedH6680 me at that timeH6256 to teachH3925 you statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941, that ye might do them in the landH776 whither ye go over to possessH3423 it.

15TakeH8104 ye therefore good heedH8104 unto yourselves; for ye sawH7200 no manner of formH8544 on the dayH3117 that Jehovah spake unto you in HorebH2722 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784; 16lestH6435 ye corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 you a graven imageH6459 in the formH8544 of any figure, the likenessH8403 of maleH2145 or femaleH5347, 17the likenessH8403 of any beast that is on the earthH776, the likenessH8403 of any wingedH3671 birdH6833 that flieth in the heavensH8064, 18the likenessH8403 of anything that creepeth on the groundH776, the likenessH8403 of any fishH1710 that is in the waterH4325 under the earthH776; 19and lestH6435 thou liftH5375 up thine eyesH5869 unto heavenH8064, and whenH834 thou seest the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 and the starsH3556, even all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, thou be drawn awayH5375 and worship them, and serveH5647 them, which Jehovah thy GodH430 hath allotted unto all the peoplesH5971 under the whole heavenH8064.
