Deuteronomy 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:15

Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves
As to keep all the laws given them, so particularly to avoid idolatry:

for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day the Lord spake unto you
in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;
and therefore, as they had nothing that directed and led them, so they had nothing that could be a temptation to them, to make any form or likeness, and worship it.

13 et ostendit vobis pactum suum quod praecepit ut faceretis et decem verba quae scripsit in duabus tabulis lapideis

14 mihique mandavit in illo tempore ut docerem vos caerimonias et iudicia quae facere deberetis in terra quam possessuri estis

15 custodite igitur sollicite animas vestras non vidistis aliquam similitudinem in die qua locutus est Dominus vobis in Horeb de medio ignis

16 ne forte decepti faciatis vobis sculptam similitudinem aut imaginem masculi vel feminae

17 similitudinem omnium iumentorum quae sunt super terram vel avium sub caelo volantium
