14 At that time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to follow in the land you are about to cross into and possess.
15 “For your own good, be extremely careful — because you did not see any form on the day the Lord spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb —
16 not to act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves in the shape of any figure: a male or female form,
17 or the form of any beast on the earth, any winged creature that flies in the sky,
18 any creature that crawls on the ground, or any fish in the waters under the earth.
19 When you look to the heavens and see the sun, moon, and stars — all the array of heaven — do not be led astray to bow down and worship them. The Lord your God has provided them for all people everywhere under heaven.
20 But the Lord selected you and brought you out of Egypt’s iron furnace to be a people for His inheritance, as you are today.
