Acts 7:42-49

⁴²But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

⁴³And you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, images which you made to give worship to them: and I will take you away, farther than Babylon.

⁴⁴Our fathers had the Tent of witness in the waste land, as God gave orders to Moses to make it after the design which he had seen.

⁴⁵Which our fathers, in their turn, took with them when, with Joshua, they came into the heritage of the nations whom God was driving out before the face of our fathers, till the time of David,

⁴⁶Who was pleasing to God; and he had a desire to make a holy tent for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁷But Solomon was the builder of his house.

⁴⁸But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

⁴⁹Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?
