and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you
go over to possess it.
004:015 Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner
of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out
of the midst of the fire.
004:016 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image
in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
004:017 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness
of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
004:018 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness
of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
004:019 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see
the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky,
you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them,
which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under
the whole sky.
004:020 But Yahweh has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron
furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance,
as at this day.

and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall
do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God,
to provoke him to anger;
004:026 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day,
that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto
you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong

004:027 Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall
be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall
lead you away.
004:028 There you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone,
which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
004:029 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall
