Acts 7:44-50

44Our ancestors had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as God who spoke to Moses ordered him to make it according to the design he had seen.

45Our ancestors received possession of it and brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our ancestors, until the time of David.

46He found favor with God and asked that he could find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob.

47But Solomon built a house for him.

48Yet the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands, as the prophet says,

49‘Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is my resting place?

50Did my hand not make all these things?’
