Acts 7:44-50 The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, as he who spoke to Moses had ordered it to be made according to the pattern which he had seen.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁴ The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, as he who spoke to Moses had ordered it to be made according to the pattern which he had seen. ⁴⁵ This tabernacle, which our fathers with Joshua received and brought into the territory of the nations which God drove out from before our fathers, continued till the days of David; ⁴⁶ who found favour in the sight of God, and made it his petition to find a habitation for the God of Jacob. ⁴⁷ But it was Solomon who built a house for him. ⁴⁸ But the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands. As the prophet saith, ⁴⁹ "The heaven is my throne, and the earth, my footstool. What sort of a house will you build for me? saith the Lord. And of what sort shall be the place of my rest? ⁵⁰ Did not my hands make all these things?"
