12. “And יהוה spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard a voice of words, but saw no form, you only heard a voice.
13. “And He made known to you His covenant which He commanded you to do, the Ten Words, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
14. “And יהוה commanded me at that time to teach you laws and right-rulings, for you to do them in the land which you pass over to possess.
15. “Therefore, diligently guard yourselves, for you saw no form when יהוה spoke to you at Ḥorĕḇ out of the midst of the fire,
16. lest you should do corruptly and shall make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure – the likeness of male or female,
17. the likeness of any beast that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the heavens,
18. the likeness of any creature that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
19. and lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and shall see the sun, and the moon, and the stars – all the host of the heavens – and you be drawn away into bowing down to them and serving them, which יהוה your Elohim has allotted to all the peoples under all the heavens.
