Acts 7:44-47

⁴⁴Our ancestors had the tent where they worshiped God in the desert, constructed, just as he who spoke to Moses had directed him to make it, after the model which he had seen.

⁴⁵This tent, which was handed down to them, was brought into this country by our ancestors who accompanied Joshua (at the conquest of the nations that God drove out before their advance), and remained here until the time of David.

⁴⁶David found favor with God, and prayed that he might provide the God of Jacob with a place to reside.

⁴⁷But it was Solomon who built a house for God.
