12 And the Lord spoke to you from the midst of fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you did not see any form at all.
13 And he revealed his covenant to you, which he instructed you to carry out, and the ten words which he wrote on two tablets of stone.
14 And he commanded me, at that time, that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you must carry out, in the land that you shall possess.
15 And so, guard your souls carefully. You saw no likeness on the day that the Lord God spoke to you on Horeb from the midst of fire.
16 Otherwise, perhaps being deceived, you might have made a graven image, or an image of male or female,
17 a likeness of any of the beasts, which are upon the earth, or of birds, which fly under heaven,
18 or of reptiles, which move across the earth, or of fish, which abide in the waters under the earth.
