列王纪上 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
所羅門的王宮
7 所羅門為自己建造宮殿花了十三年才完成。 2 他又建造黎巴嫩林宮,長四十四公尺,寬二十二公尺,高十三公尺半。有四行香柏木的柱子,柱子上有香柏木的橫梁。 3 柱子每行十五根,共四十五根;柱子上有廂房,是用香柏木蓋屋頂的。 4 有窗框三行,窗與窗相對,共有三層。 5 所有的門和窗都有四方的框子,有窗三層,窗與窗相對。 6 他又建造柱廊,長二十二公尺,寬十三公尺半。在柱廊前有廊子,在廊子前又有柱子和臺階。 7 又建造王室座廊,就是審判廊,他在這裡執行審判。由地板到天花板,都貼上香柏木板。 8 所羅門自己住的宮殿,是在廊後的另一個院內,建造法相同。他又為他娶法老的女兒建造一座宮院,建法與這廊子一樣。
9 從根基到屋簷,從外院到大院,這一切都是用貴重的石塊,按尺寸鑿好,用鋸子內外鋸齊的石塊建成的。
10 根基也都是用貴重的大石塊;有長四公尺的,也有長三公尺半的。 11 上面有按著尺寸鑿好的貴重石塊和香柏木。 12 大院的周圍有鑿好的石頭三層,香柏木一層,與耶和華的內院和殿廊一樣。
戶蘭的特別任務
13 所羅門王派人去把戶蘭從推羅接來。 14 戶蘭是拿弗他利支派中一個寡婦的兒子;他父親是推羅人,是個銅匠。戶蘭滿有智慧、聰明和知識,能作各樣銅工;他來到所羅門王那裡,作王的一切工作。
鑄造兩根柱子(A)
15 他鑄造了兩根銅柱,每根高八公尺,圓周五公尺三公寸。 16 他又用銅鑄造了兩個柱頂,安放在柱頭上,每個柱頂高兩公尺兩公寸。 17 他又為柱頭上的柱頭頂做了兩塊網子和辮結成的鍊子,每個柱頂有七塊。 18 他又做了兩行石榴圍繞在柱頭上,柱頂的網子上,兩個柱頂都是這樣。 19 廊子裡柱頭上的柱頂,刻有百合花細工,一公尺八公寸。 20 兩根柱子上柱頂的鼓肚上,網子旁邊,各有石榴二百個,分兩行環繞著。 21 他把這兩根柱子豎立在殿廊的前面。豎立在南邊的柱子,他起名叫雅斤;豎立在北面的柱子,起名叫波阿斯。 22 在柱子的上頭刻有百合花的細工。這樣,做柱子的工作就完成了。
鑄造銅海(B)
23 他又鑄造了一座圓形的銅海,從這邊到那邊四公尺四公寸,高兩公尺兩公寸,圓周十三公尺兩公寸。 24 在銅海邊緣以下有匏瓜圍繞著,每四十五公分十個。匏瓜共有兩行,是鑄造銅海的時候,一併鑄造上去的。 25 銅海安放在十二頭銅牛背上,三頭向北,三頭向西,三頭向南,三頭向東,銅海是在銅牛之上,牛尾都向內。 26 銅海厚七公分半,邊緣好像杯子的邊緣,又好像百合花蕾,能盛水四萬公升。
鑄造銅座和銅盆(C)
27 他又做了十個銅盆座;每個長一公尺八公寸,寬一公尺八公寸,高一公尺三公寸。 28 盆座的做法是這樣:盆座有數邊,各邊都連接在盆架中。 29 在盆架間的各邊上,有獅子、牛和基路伯。盆架上有座,獅子和牛的上下都有花紋的浮雕。 30 每個盆座都有四個銅輪和銅軸,在盆座以下的四腳上有鑄成的支架,各邊都刻有花紋。 31 盆座的口從內緣到頂,高四十五公分。盆口作圓形,照盆架上那座的樣式,直徑六十六公分。盆口的邊上也有雕刻,盆座的邊是四方形,不是圓形的。 32 盆座的四個輪子是在盆邊的下面,輪座與軸相接,每個輪子高六十六公分。 33 輪子的形狀,好像車輪的做法,輪軸、輪輞、輪輻、輪轂都是鑄成的。 34 每一個盆座的四角都有四個支架;支架是與盆座一塊鑄成的。 35 盆座頂上有一個圓圈,高二十二公分;在盆座頂的座的撐子和邊緣是與座一塊鑄成的。 36 又在撐子和邊緣的上面刻有基路伯、獅子和棕樹,又在各空處,周圍刻上花紋。 37 他這樣做了十個盆座,鑄法、尺寸和樣式都是相同的。 38 他又做了十個銅盆,每個銅盆能盛水八百公升;每個銅盆的直徑都是一公尺八公寸。在十個盆座上,每個都安放一個銅盆。 39 他把五個盆座放在殿的南邊,五個放在殿的北邊,又把銅海放在殿的南邊,就是靠東南角的地方。
戶蘭所做器皿的總表(D)
40 戶蘭又做了盆子、鏟子和碗。這樣,戶蘭為所羅門王完成了在耶和華的殿裡所要作的一切工程。 41 所做的就是兩根柱子和在柱子頂上碗形的柱頂;兩塊遮蓋柱子頂上碗形柱頂的網子; 42 在兩塊網子上的四百個石榴,每塊網子上有兩行石榴,遮蓋在柱子上頭兩個碗形的柱頂; 43 十個盆座和盆座上的十個銅盆; 44 一個銅海和銅海下的十二頭銅牛; 45 鍋、鏟子和盤子。以上這一切器皿都是戶蘭為所羅門在耶和華的殿裡用磨亮的銅做成的。 46 是王在約旦平原,在疏割與撒利但之間用泥模鑄造的。 47 這一切器皿所羅門都沒有稱算過;由於數量太多,銅的重量也無法估計。
48 所羅門又做了耶和華殿裡的一切器具,就是金壇和放陳設餅的桌子, 49 內殿前面的精金燈臺,右邊五行,左邊五行;還有金花、金燈盞, 50 精金的碗盆、燭剪、盤子、調羹和火鼎,內殿至聖所的門框和外殿的門樞。
51 這樣,所羅門為耶和華的殿所作的一切工程都完成了。所羅門把他父親大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿,都運了來,存放在耶和華殿的庫房裡。

1 Kings 7
New International Version
Solomon Builds His Palace
7 It took Solomon thirteen years, however, to complete the construction of his palace.(A) 2 He built the Palace(B) of the Forest of Lebanon(C) a hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high,[a] with four rows of cedar columns supporting trimmed cedar beams. 3 It was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the columns—forty-five beams, fifteen to a row. 4 Its windows were placed high in sets of three, facing each other. 5 All the doorways had rectangular frames; they were in the front part in sets of three, facing each other.[b]
6 He made a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty wide.[c] In front of it was a portico, and in front of that were pillars and an overhanging roof.
7 He built the throne hall, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge,(D) and he covered it with cedar from floor to ceiling.[d](E) 8 And the palace in which he was to live, set farther back, was similar in design. Solomon also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.(F)
9 All these structures, from the outside to the great courtyard and from foundation to eaves, were made of blocks of high-grade stone cut to size and smoothed on their inner and outer faces. 10 The foundations were laid with large stones of good quality, some measuring ten cubits[e] and some eight.[f] 11 Above were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams. 12 The great courtyard was surrounded by a wall of three courses(G) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams, as was the inner courtyard of the temple of the Lord with its portico.
The Temple’s Furnishings(H)(I)
13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,[g](J) 14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom,(K) with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all(L) the work assigned to him.
15 He cast two bronze pillars,(M) each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.[h] 16 He also made two capitals(N) of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits[i] high. 17 A network of interwoven chains adorned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital. 18 He made pomegranates in two rows[j] encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars.[k] He did the same for each capital. 19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits[l] high. 20 On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates(O) in rows all around. 21 He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin[m] and the one to the north Boaz.[n](P) 22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars(Q) was completed.
23 He made the Sea(R) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line(S) of thirty cubits[o] to measure around it. 24 Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
25 The Sea stood on twelve bulls,(T) three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. 26 It was a handbreadth[p] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.[q]
27 He also made ten movable stands(U) of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.[r] 28 This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights. 29 On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim—and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work. 30 Each stand(V) had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side. 31 On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit[s] deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half.[t] Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round. 32 The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.
34 Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand. 35 At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit[u] deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand. 36 He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around. 37 This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.
38 He then made ten bronze basins,(W) each holding forty baths[v] and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands. 39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple. 40 He also made the pots[w] and shovels and sprinkling bowls.(X)
So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:
41 the two pillars;
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals(Y) on top of the pillars);
43 the ten stands with their ten basins;
44 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
45 the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.(Z)
All these objects that Huram(AA) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain(AB) of the Jordan between Sukkoth(AC) and Zarethan.(AD) 47 Solomon left all these things unweighed,(AE) because there were so many;(AF) the weight of the bronze(AG) was not determined.
48 Solomon also made all(AH) the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple:
the golden altar;
the golden table(AI) on which was the bread of the Presence;(AJ)
49 the lampstands(AK) of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary);
the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;
50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(AL) and censers;(AM)
and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(AN)—the silver and gold and the furnishings(AO)—and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.

King James Version
7 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
6 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.
13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
14 He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
27 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
34 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
38 Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.
40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord:
41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;
42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass.
46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
48 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,
49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.
51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord.

使徒行传 7:30-50
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
30 “過了四十年,在西奈山的曠野,有一位使者,在荊棘中的火燄裡,向摩西顯現。 31 他見了這個異象,十分驚奇;他正上前察看的時候,就有主的聲音說: 32 ‘我是你祖宗的 神,就是亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的 神。’摩西戰戰兢兢,不敢觀看。 33 主對他說:‘把你腳上的鞋脫掉,因為你所站的地方是聖地。 34 我的子民在埃及所受的痛苦,我實在看見了;他們的歎息我也聽見了,我下來是要救他們。你來,我要派你到埃及去。’ 35 他們拒絕了這位摩西,說:‘誰立了你作領袖和審判官呢?’但 神藉著在荊棘中向他顯現的使者的手,派他作領袖和救贖者。 36 這人領他們出來,並且在埃及地、紅海和曠野,行奇事神蹟四十年。 37 以前那位對以色列人說‘ 神要從你們弟兄中間,給你們興起一位先知像我’的,就是這摩西。 38 那曾經在曠野的大會中,和那在西奈山上對他說話的使者同在,也與我們的祖先同在的,就是他。他領受了活的聖言,傳給我們。 39 我們的祖先不肯聽從他,反而把他推開,他們的心已經轉向了埃及, 40 就對亞倫說:‘給我們做一些神像,可以走在我們前頭。因為把我們從埃及地領出來的那個摩西,我們不知道他遭遇了甚麼事。’ 41 在那些日子裡,他們做了一個牛犢,把祭物獻給那偶像,並且因自己手所做的而歡樂。 42 於是 神轉身離開,任憑他們事奉天象,正如先知書所說:
‘以色列家啊,
你們在曠野四十年,
豈是將祭牲和祭物獻給我呢?
43 你們抬著摩洛的帳幕,
和理番神的星,
就是你們做來敬拜的像。
所以我要把你們放逐到巴比倫那一邊去。’
44 “我們的祖先在曠野有作證的帳幕,就是跟摩西談話的那位指示他,依照他看見的樣式做的。 45 我們的祖先相繼承受了這帳幕, 神把外族人從他們面前趕走以後,他們就同約書亞把帳幕帶進所得為業的地方,直到大衛的日子。 46 大衛在 神面前蒙了恩,就求為雅各的 神找個居所, 47 而由所羅門為他建造殿宇。 48 其實至高者並不住人手所造的,正如先知說:
49 ‘主說:天是我的寶座,
地是我的腳凳,
你們要為我建造怎樣的殿呢?
哪裡是我安息的地方呢?
50 這一切不都是我手所造的嗎?’

Acts 7:30-50
New International Version
30 “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. 31 When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say:(A) 32 ‘I am the God of your fathers,(B) the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’[a] Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.(C)
33 “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.(D) 34 I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’[b](E)
35 “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’(F) He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He led them out of Egypt(G) and performed wonders and signs(H) in Egypt, at the Red Sea(I) and for forty years in the wilderness.(J)
37 “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’[c](K) 38 He was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel(L) who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors;(M) and he received living words(N) to pass on to us.(O)
39 “But our ancestors refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.(P) 40 They told Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’[d](Q) 41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made.(R) 42 But God turned away from them(S) and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars.(T) This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets:
“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
43 You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
and the star of your god Rephan,
the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile’[e](U) beyond Babylon.
44 “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the covenant law(V) with them in the wilderness. It had been made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.(W) 45 After receiving the tabernacle, our ancestors under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them.(X) It remained in the land until the time of David,(Y) 46 who enjoyed God’s favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.[f](Z) 47 But it was Solomon who built a house for him.(AA)
48 “However, the Most High(AB) does not live in houses made by human hands.(AC) As the prophet says:
Acts 7:30-50
King James Version
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 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.
38 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:
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
40 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.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 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?
43 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.
44 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.
45 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;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him an house.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 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?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
