Acts 7:44-50
44“Our fathersG3962 hadG1510 1the tabernacleG4633 of testimonyG3142 in the wildernessG2048, justG2531 as He who spokeG2980 to MosesG3475 directedG1299 him to makeG4160 it 2accordingG2596 to the patternG5179 whichG3739 he had seenG3708. 45And having receivedG1237 it in their turnG1237, our fathersG3962 3broughtG1521 it in with 4JoshuaG2424 upon dispossessingG2697 the 5nationsG1484 whomG3739 GodG2316 droveG1856 out beforeG575G4383 our fathersG3962, untilG2193 the timeG2250 of DavidG1160. 466David foundG2147 favorG5485 in God’sG2316 sightG1799, and 7askedG154 that he might findG2147 a dwellingG4638 placeG4638 for the 8GodG2316 of JacobG2384. 47But it was 9SolomonG4672 who builtG3618 a houseG3624 for Him. 48HoweverG235, 10the MostG5310 HighG5310 does not dwellG2730 in houses madeG5499 by human handsG5499; as the prophetG4396 saysG3004:49‘11HeavenG3772 is My throneG2362, And earthG1093 is the footstoolG5286 of My feetG4228; WhatG4169 kindG4169 of houseG3624 will you buildG3618 for Me?’ saysG3004 the LordG2962, ‘OrG2228 whatG5101 placeG5117 is there for My reposeG2663?5012Was it not My handG5495 which madeG4160 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778?’
