Verse 21 is found in chapter 4 of Deuteronomy. Moses warns against making images of God. Israel saw no form when God spoke from the fire, and therefore must not reduce his divine identity to representations of animals, celestial bodies, or human beings. The prohibition of idolatry protects God’s transcendence and reminds Israel that the covenant relationship is based on hearing his word, not controlling his presence through images.

Und der HERR war so erzürnt über mich um eures Tuns willen, daß er schwur, ich sollte nicht über den Jordan gehen noch in das gute Land kommen, das dir der HERR, dein Gott, zum Erbteil geben wird,
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.
Jehová se enojó conmigo por causa de ustedes y juró que yo no cruzaría el Jordán ni entraría en la buena tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da como herencia.
Et l'Eternel s'irrita contre moi, à cause de vous; et il jura que je ne passerais point le Jourdain, et que je n'entrerais point dans le bon pays que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne en héritage.
Or il Signore si adirò gravemente contro a me per cagion vostra, e giurò che io non passerei il Giordano, e che io non entrerei nel buon paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà per eredità.
Também o SENHOR se indignou contra mim por causa das vossas palavras, e jurou que eu não passaria o Jordão, e que não entraria na boa terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te dará por herança.
「耶和華又因你們的緣故向我發怒,起誓不容我過 約旦河 ,不讓我進入耶和華-你上帝所賜你為業的那美地。
