Acts 7

30 Ref And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

31 Ref And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,

32 Ref I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

33 Ref And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

34 Ref I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

35 Ref This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent `to be' both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

36 Ref This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

37 Ref This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.

38 Ref This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:

39 Ref to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,

40 Ref saying unto Aaron, Make us gods that shall go before us: for as for this Moses, who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

41 Ref And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

42 Ref But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

43 Ref And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

44 Ref Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen.

45 Ref Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, that God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

46 Ref who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

47 Ref But Solomon built him a house.

48 Ref Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in `houses' made with hands; as saith the prophet,

49 Ref The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

50 Ref Did not my hand make all these things?
