Acts 7:44-50

44“In the desert our ancestors had the tent of God’s promise. Moses built this tent exactly as God had told him. He used the model he had seen.

45After our ancestors received the tent, they brought it into this land. They did this with Joshua’s help when they took possession of the land from the nations that God forced out of our ancestors’ way. This tent remained here until the time of David,

46who won God’s favor. David asked that he might provide a permanent place for the family of Jacob.

47But Solomon was the one who built a house for God.

48“However, the Most High doesn’t live in a house built by humans, as the prophet says:

49‘The Lord says, “Heaven is my throne. The earth is my footstool. What kind of house are you going to build for me? Where will I rest?

50Didn’t I make all these things?” ’
