44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen; 45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David, 46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob. 47 But Solomon built him a house. 48 However, the Most High doesnât dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
49 âheaven is my throne,
and the earth a footstool for my feet.
What kind of house will you build me?â says the Lord.
âOr what is the place of my rest?
50 Didnât my hand make all these things?â
