14. And the Lord directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
15. You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,

17. or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,
18. or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below.
