"The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air, The likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: And lest thou lift up thy eyes unto heaven, and when thou sees the sun, and the moon, all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God has divided all the nations in the whole heaven.

And these words which I command you this day, shall be in thy heart. And thou shall teach them diligently unto thy children, and shall talk of them when thou sits in thy house, and when thou walks by the way, and when thou lies down, and when thou rises up. And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as fronts between thy eyes. And thou shall write them on the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." Deut 6:4-9.

"And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, Cursed be the man that makes any graven image, an abomination to the Lord, then of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place.

And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lies with his father's wife, because he uncovers his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lies with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or, the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that smites his neighbor, secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that confirms not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen."
