44 The tabernacle of witness was among our fathers in the wilderness, as commanded [by God], speaking to Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen.

45 Which also having received it by inheritance with Joshua, our fathers, with Joshua, in taking possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David,

46 who found favor with God and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;

47 but Solomon built Him a house.

48 But, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

49 Heaven [is] My throne and earth [is] My footstool. What house will you build Me, says [the] Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?

50 Has not My hand made all these things?
