Acts:7:37-50
Seeker Overlay ON
*
This is that Moses ,
which said unto the children of Israel ,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren ,
like unto me ;
him shall ye hear .
*
This is he ,
that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina ,
and with our fathers :
who received the lively oracles to give unto us :
*
To whom our fathers would not obey ,
but thrust him from them ,
and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt ,
*
Saying unto Aaron ,
Make us gods to go before us :
for as for this Moses ,
which brought us out of the land of Egypt ,
we wot not what is become of him .
*
And they made a calf in those days ,
and offered sacrifice unto the idol ,
and rejoiced in the works of their own hands .
*
Then God turned ,
and gave them up to worship the host of heaven ;
as it is written in the book of the prophets ,
O ye house of Israel ,
have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness ?
*
Yea ,
ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch ,
and the star of your god Remphan ,
figures which ye made to worship them :
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon .
*
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness ,
as he had appointed ,
speaking unto Moses ,
that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen .
*
Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles ,
whom God drave out before the face of our fathers ,
unto the days of David ;
*
Who found favour before God ,
and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob .
*
But Solomon built him an house .
*
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands ;
as saith the prophet ,
*
Heaven is my throne ,
and earth is my footstool :
what house will ye build me ?
saith the Lord :
or what is the place of my rest ?
*
Hath not my hand made all these things ?
