“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

You shall not bow down to them or worship them;  for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of he fathers to the third and forth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand (generations) of those who love me and keep my commandments.”

                  Exodus 20: 4,5,6  NIV
