Acts 7:42-44
New Living Translation
42 Then God turned away from them and abandoned them to serve the stars of heaven as their gods! In the book of the prophets it is written,
‘Was it to me you were bringing sacrifices and offerings
during those forty years in the wilderness, Israel?
43 No, you carried your pagan gods—
the shrine of Molech,
the star of your god Rephan,
and the images you made to worship them.
So I will send you into exile
as far away as Babylon.’[a]
44 “Our ancestors carried the Tabernacle[b] with them through the wilderness. It was constructed according to the plan God had shown to Moses.
