44 The Dwelling Place of the Testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He directed, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen; 45 which also our fathers having in succession received, brought in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David, 46 who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob; 47 and Solomon built Him a house. 48 But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says: 49 Heaven [is] My throne, || And the earth My footstool, || What house will you build to Me? Says the LORD; Or what [is] the place of My rest? 50 Has My hand not made all these things?
