Deuteronomy 4:12-19

12Then the Lord spoke to you from the middle of the fire. You heard him as he spoke, but you did not see him. You only heard a voice.

13He told you about his covenant and the ten commands that he wrote on two flat pieces of stone. He commanded you to obey them.

14At that time, the Lord commanded me to teach you his rules and his laws. You must obey them in the land that you will now go in to live there.

15Remember when the Lord spoke to you at Mount Horeb from the middle of the fire. You did not see him in any shape. So be very careful about everything that you do.

16Do not make any image to be your god. That would be a sin. Do not make an image in any shape as your idol. Do not copy the shape of a man or a woman,

17or the shape of any animal or bird.

18Do not copy the shape of anything that moves along the ground, or any fish that swims in the deep water.

19When you look up at the sky, you see the sun, the moon and the stars. They all shine up in the sky. But do not bend down low to them or worship them. They are there because the Lord your God has made them. He has given them to people everywhere in the world.
