Deuteronomy 4:14-21

14At that time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to follow in the land you are about to cross into and possess.

15“Diligently watch yourselves — because you did not see any form on the day the Lord spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb —

16so you don’t act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves in the shape of any figure: a male or female form,

17or the form of any animal on the earth, any winged creature that flies in the sky,

18any creature that crawls on the ground, or any fish in the waters under the earth.

19When you look to the heavens and see the sun, moon, and stars — all the stars in the sky — do not be led astray to bow in worship to them and serve them. The Lord your God has provided them for all people everywhere under heaven.

20But the Lord selected you and brought you out of Egypt’s iron furnace to be a people for his inheritance, as you are today.

21“The Lord was angry with me on your account. He swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
