Acts 7:30-53

30And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire of a bush.

31And Moses seeing it wondered at the vision; and as he went up to consider it, there was a voice of [the] Lord,

32I am the 1God of thy fathers, the 2God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not consider [it].

33And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.

34I have surely seen the ill treatment of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan, and have come down to take them out of it; and now, come, I will send thee to Egypt.

35This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did 3God send [to be] a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

36He led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

37This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall 4God raise up to you out of your brethren like me [him shall ye hear].

38This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;

39to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,

40saying to Aaron, Make us 5gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.

41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

42But 6God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in [the] book of the prophets, Have ye offered me victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

43Yea, ye took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of [your] 7god Remphan, the forms which ye made to do homage to them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon.

44Our fathers had the tent of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded to make it according to the model which he had seen;

45which also our fathers, receiving from their predecessors, brought in with Joshua when they entered into possession of [the lands of] the nations, whom 8God drove out from [the] face of our fathers, until the days of David;

46who found favour before 9God, and asked to find a tabernacle for the 10God of Jacob;

47but Solomon built him a house.

48But the Most High dwells not in [places] made with hands; as says the prophet,

49The heaven [is] my throne and the earth the footstool of my feet: what house will ye build me? saith [the] Lord, or where [is the] place of my rest?

50has not my hand made all these things?

51O stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, ye also.

52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain those who announced beforehand concerning the coming of the Just One, of whom ye have now become deliverers up and murderers!

53who have received the law as ordained by [the] ministry of angels, and have not kept [it].
