Deuteronomy 4:15-24
15“So 1be very careful 2yourselves, since you did not see any 3form on the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, 16so that you do not 4act corruptly and 5make a carved image for yourselves in the form of any figure, a representation of male or female, 17a representation of any animal that is on the earth, a representation of 6any winged bird that flies in the sky, 18a representation of anything that crawls on the ground, or a representation of any fish that is in the water below the earth. 19And be careful not to raise your eyes to heaven and look at the sun, the moon, and the stars, 7all the heavenly 8lights, 9and allow yourself to be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. 20But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of 10the iron furnace, from Egypt, to 11be a people of His own possession, as today.
21“12Now the Lord was angry with me on your account, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. 22For 13I am going to die in this land; I am not crossing the Jordan, but you are going to cross, and you will take possession of this 14good land. 23So be careful 15yourselves, 16that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and 17make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything against which the Lord your God has commanded you. 24For the Lord your God is a 18consuming fire, a 19jealous God.
