Deuteronomy 4:10-17

11So you came and stood at the foot of the mountain, which was on fire with flames shooting into the sky. It was dark, cloudy, and gloomy.

12The Lord spoke to you from the fire. You heard a voice speaking but saw no one. There was only a voice.

13The Lord told you about the terms of his promise, the ten commandments, which he commanded you to do. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets.

14The Lord also commanded me to teach you the laws and rules you must obey after you cross ⌞the Jordan River⌟ and take possession of the land.

15You didn’t see the Lord the day he spoke to you from the fire at Mount Horeb. So be very careful

16that you don’t become corrupt and make your own carved idols. Don’t make statues that represent men or women,

17any animal on earth, any creature with wings that flies,
