As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face; when I awake you will reveal yourself to me.

I say this so you will not corrupt yourselves by making an image in the form of any kind of figure. This includes the likeness of a human male or female,

It stands still, but I cannot recognize its appearance; an image is before my eyes, and I hear a murmuring voice:

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water below.

With him I will speak face to face, openly, and not in riddles; and he will see the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”

Then the Lord spoke to you from the middle of the fire; you heard speech but you could not see anything – only a voice was heard.

Be very careful, then, because you saw no form at the time the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the middle of the fire.

After you have produced children and grandchildren and have been in the land a long time, if you become corrupt and make an image of any kind and do other evil things before the Lord your God that enrage him,

You must not make for yourself an image of anything in heaven above, on earth below, or in the waters beneath.

Be on guard so that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he has made with you, and that you do not make an image of any kind, just as he has forbidden you.
