Acts 7:41-43
1599 Geneva Bible
41 And they made a [a]calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Then God turned himself away, and [b]gave them up to serve the [c]host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets, (A)O house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
43 And ye [d]took up the Tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
