Deuteronomy 4:19 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

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.

20 Empero á vosotros Jehová os tomó, y os ha sacado del horno de hierro, de Egipto, para que le seáis por pueblo de heredad como en este día.

21 Y Jehová se enojó contra mí sobre vuestros negocios, y juró que yo no pasaría el Jordán, ni entraría en la buena tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad.
