13And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

14And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

15Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that Jehovah spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.

16Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flieth in the heavens,

18the likeness of anything that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;

19and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven.
