14 At that time the Lord also commanded me to teach you the other laws and rules that you must follow in the land you are going to take and live in.
15 “On the day the Lord spoke to you from the fire at Mount Horeb, you did not see him—there was no shape for God.
16 So be careful! Don’t sin and destroy yourselves by making false gods or statues in the shape of any living thing. Don’t make an idol that looks like a man or a woman,
17 or like an animal on the earth, or like a bird that flies in the sky.
18 And don’t make an idol that looks like anything that crawls on the ground or like a fish in the sea.
19 And be careful when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon, and the stars—all the many things in the sky. Be careful that you are not tempted to worship and serve them. The Lord your God lets the other people in the world do this.
20 But the Lord brought you out of Egypt to make you his own special people. He saved you from Egypt. It was as if he pulled you from a hot furnace. And now you are his people.
