Deuteronomy 4:12-19

12Then the Lord spoke to you from the middle of the fire; you heard speech but you could not see anything – only a voice was heard.

13And he revealed to you the covenant he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments, writing them on two stone tablets.

14Moreover, at that same time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to keep in the land which you are about to enter and possess.

15Be very careful, then, because you saw no form at the time the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the middle of the fire.

16I say this so you will not corrupt yourselves by making an image in the form of any kind of figure. This includes the likeness of a human male or female,

17any kind of land animal, any bird that flies in the sky,

18anything that crawls on the ground, or any fish in the deep waters of the earth.

19When you look up to the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars – the whole heavenly creation – you must not be seduced to worship and serve them, for the Lord your God has assigned them to all the people of the world.
