Acts 7

44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen. 45 Our fathers in turn received it, and they also brought it in with Joshua upon dispossessing the *7:45 Or Gentilesnations that God drove out from our fathers, until the time of David. 46 *7:46 Lit He whoDavid found favor in God’s sight, and asked that he might *7:46 I.e., build the templefind a dwelling place for the *7:46 I.e., the people of Israelhouse of Jacob. 47 But it was Solomon who built a house for Him. 48 However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:

49 ‘Heaven is My throne,

And the earth is the footstool of My feet;

What kind of house will you build for Me?’ says the Lord,

‘Or what place is there for My rest?

50 ‘Was it not My hand that made all these things?’
