13 aSo He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, bthe Ten Commandments; and cHe wrote them on two tablets of stone.
14 And athe Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might1 observe them in the land which you cross over to possess.
Beware of Idolatry
15 a“Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no bform when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
16 lest you aact corruptly and bmake for yourselves a carved image in the1 form of any figure: cthe likeness of male or female,
17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,
18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth.
19 And take heed, lest you alift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, ball the host of heaven, you feel driven to cworship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has1 given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.
20 But the Lord has taken you and abrought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be bHis people, an inheritance, as you are this day.
