Deuteronomy 4 — Context

"You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the very heart of the heavens: darkness, cloud and thick gloom.

"Then the LORD spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of words, but you saw no form--only a voice.

"So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

"The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might perform them in the land where you are going over to possess it.

"So watch yourselves carefully, since you did not see any form on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire,

so that you do not act corruptly and make a graven image for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
