Acts 7:38-45

38ThisG3778 is the one who was in 1the 2congregationG1577 in the wildernessG2048 togetherG3326 with 3the angelG32 who was speakingG2980 to him on MountG3735 SinaiG4614, and who was with our fathersG3962; and he receivedG1209 4livingG2198 5oraclesG3051 to passG1325 on to you. 39Our fathersG3962 were unwillingG3756G2309 to be obedientG5255 to him, but 6repudiatedG683 him and in their heartsG2588 turnedG4762 backG4762 to EgyptG125, 407sayingG3004 to AaronG2, ‘MakeG4160 for us godsG2316 whoG3739 will goG4313 beforeG4313 us; for thisG3778 MosesG3475 whoG3739 ledG1806 us out of the landG1093 of EgyptG125--we do not knowG3609 whatG5101 happenedG1096 to him.’ 418At that timeG2250 9they madeG3447 a 10calfG3447 and broughtG321 a sacrificeG2378 to the idolG1497, and were rejoicingG2165 in 11the worksG2041 of their handsG5495. 42But GodG2316 12turnedG4762 awayG4762 and deliveredG3860 them up to 13serveG3000 the 14hostG4756 of heavenG3772; as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396, ‘15It was not to Me that you offeredG4374 victimsG4968 and sacrificesG2378 16fortyG5065 yearsG2094 in the wildernessG2048, was it, O houseG3624 of IsraelG2274? 4317You alsoG2532 tookG353 along the tabernacleG4633 of MolochG3434 and the starG798 of the godG2316 18RomphaG4501, the imagesG5179 whichG3739 you madeG4160 to worshipG4352. I alsoG2532 will removeG3351 you beyondG1900 BabylonG897.’

44“Our fathersG3962 hadG1510 19the tabernacleG4633 of testimonyG3142 in the wildernessG2048, justG2531 as He who spokeG2980 to MosesG3475 directedG1299 him to makeG4160 it 20accordingG2596 to the patternG5179 whichG3739 he had seenG3708. 45And having receivedG1237 it in their turnG1237, our fathersG3962 21broughtG1521 it in with 22JoshuaG2424 upon dispossessingG2697 the 23nationsG1484 whomG3739 GodG2316 droveG1856 out beforeG575G4383 our fathersG3962, untilG2193 the timeG2250 of DavidG1160.
