Deuteronomy 4:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 a replica of any animal that is upon the earth, a replica of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 a replica of any creeping thing on the ground, a replica of any fish that is in the water below[a] the earth. 19 And do this so that you do not lift[b] your eyes toward heaven and observe[c] the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of the heaven, and be led astray and bow down to them and serve them, things that Yahweh your God has allotted to all of the peoples under all of the heaven.

Deuteronomy 4:17-19
New International Version
17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,(A) 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun,(B) the moon and the stars(C)—all the heavenly array(D)—do not be enticed(E) into bowing down to them and worshiping(F) things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
