Deuteronomy 4:17 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

15 Guardad pues mucho vuestras almas: pues ninguna figura visteis el día que Jehová habló con vosotros de en medio del fuego:

16 Porque no os corrompáis, y hagáis para vosotros escultura, imagen de figura alguna, efigie de varón ó hembra,

17 Figura de algún animal que sea en la tierra, figura de ave alguna alada que vuele por el aire,

18 Figura de ningún [animal] que vaya arrastrando por la tierra, figura de pez alguno que haya en el agua debajo de la tierra:

19 Y porque alzando tus ojos al cielo, y viendo el sol y la luna y las estrellas, y todo el ejército del cielo, no seas incitado, y te inclines á ellos, y les sirvas; que Jehová tu Dios los ha concedido á todos los pueblos debajo de todos los cielos.
