Acts 7:44-50

44OurG1473 fathersG3962 had theG3588 tabernacleG4633 of theG3588 TestimonyG3142 withG3588 them inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048. It was constructedG4160G846 exactly asG2531 God had directedG1299 MosesG3475, according toG2596 theG3588 patternG5179 he had seenG3708. 45AndG2532 ourG1473 fathersG3962 whoG3739 received itG1237 broughtG1521 it in withG3326 JoshuaG2424 when they dispossessedG2697 theG3588 nationsG1484 GodG2316 drove outG1856 beforeG575G4383G3588 them. It remained untilG2193 theG3588 timeG2250 of DavidG1138, 46whoG3739 foundG2147 favorG5485 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 andG2532 askedG154 to provideG2147 a dwelling placeG4638 for theG3588 GodG2316 of JacobG2384.1 47ButG1161 it was SolomonG4672 who builtG3618 the houseG3624 for HimG846.

48HoweverG235, theG3588 Most HighG5310 does notG3756 dwellG2730 inG1722 houses made by human handsG5499. AsG2531 theG3588 prophetG4396 saysG3004:

49‘HeavenG3772 is MyG1473 throneG2362andG1161 theG3588 earthG1093 is MyG3588G1473G4228 footstoolG5286.What kind ofG4169 houseG3624 will you buildG3618 for MeG1473, saysG3004 the LordG2962,orG2228 whereG5101 will MyG1473 placeG5117 of reposeG2663 be?50Has notG3780 MyG1473 handG5495 madeG4160 allG3956 these thingsG3778?’2
