Deuteronomy 4:12-19

12And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; you only heard a voice.

13So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

14And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might observe them in the land which you cross over to possess.

15“Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

16lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female,

17the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,

18the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth.

19And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.
