Deuteronomy 4:19

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.

21 Furthermore ^athe Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that ^bI would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

22 But ^aI must die in this land, ^bI must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and¹ possess ^cthat good land.
