14. Adonai commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, so that you might do them in the land you are crossing over to possess.
15. “So be very watchful over your souls since you saw no form on the day that Adonai spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
16. so that you do not act corruptly and make for yourselves a graven image in the likeness of any figure—the form of a male or female,
17. the form of any animal that is on the earth, the form of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
18. the form of anything that creeps on the ground, the form of any fish that is in the water under the earth—
19. and so that you do not lift up your eyes toward the heavens and see the sun and the moon and the stars—all the heavenly host—and are drawn away and bow down and worship them. Adonai your God has allotted them to all the peoples under all the heavens.
20. But you, Adonai has taken, and He brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt to be a people for His own inheritance, as you are this day.
