Deeds (Act) of Apostles 7:37-48

³⁷This is Moses, that said to the sons of Israel, God shall raise to you a prophet of your brethren, and as me ye shall hear him.

³⁸This it is, that was in the church in wilderness, with the angel that spake to him in the mount of Sina, and with our fathers; which took words of life to give to us. (This is he, who was with the congregation in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the Words of Life to give to us.)

⁴⁶that found grace with God, and asked that he should find a tabernacle to (the) God of Jacob. (who found grace with God, and asked if he could make a Tabernacle for the God of Jacob.)

⁴⁷But Solomon builded the house to him. Solomon forsooth built an house to him. (But it was Solomon who built a House, or the Temple, for him.)
