Deuteronomy 4:16-19

16so that you do not 1act corruptly and 2make 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 3any 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, 4all the heavenly 5lights, 6and 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.
