16 lest you should do corruptly and shall make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure – the likeness of male or female,
17 the likeness of any beast that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the heavens,
18 the likeness of any creature that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and shall see the sun, and the moon, and the stars – all the host of the heavens – and you be drawn away into bowing down to them and serving them, which יהוה your Elohim has allotted to all the peoples under all the heavens.
20 “But יהוה has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Mitsrayim, to be His people, an inheritance, as it is today.
21 “And יהוה was enraged with me because of your words, and swore that I would not pass over the Yardĕn, and that I would not enter the good land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance.
22 “For I am to die in this land, I am not passing over the Yardĕn, but you are passing over, and shall possess that good land.
