Take
heed to thy self therefore only and keep thy soul diligently, that
thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that
they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thine life:
but teach them thy sons, and thy sons son's. The day that I stood
before the LORD your God in Horeb, when he said unto me, gather me
the people together, that I may make them hear my words that they
may learn to fear me as long as they live upon the earth and that
they may teach their children: ye came and stood also under the
hill, and the hill burnt with fire: even unto the midst of heaven,
and there was darkness, clouds and mist. And the LORD spake unto
you out of the fire and ye heard the voice of the words: But saw
no image, save heard a voice only. And he declared unto you his
covenant, which he commanded you to do, even ten verses and wrote
them in two tables of stone. And the LORD commanded me the same
season to teach you ordinances and laws, for to do them in the
land whither ye go to possess it. Take heed unto yourselves
diligently as pertaining unto your souls, for ye saw no manner of
image the day when the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the
fire: lest ye mar yourselves and make you graven images after
whatsoever likeness it be: whether after the likeness of man or
woman or any manner beast that is on the earth or of any manner
feathered fowl that flyeth in the air, or of any manner worm that
creepeth on the earth or of any manner fish that is in the water
beneath the earth: Yea and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto
heaven, and when thou seest the son and the moon and the stars and
whatsoever is contained in heaven, shouldest be deceived and
shouldest bow thyself unto them and serve the things which the
LORD thy God hath distributed unto all nations that are under all
quarters of heaven.
