- Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
- The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
- The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
- And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
- But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

- 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,
- the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the earth.
- "And beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
- "But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people for His own possession, as today.
