Acts 7:44-46

Common English Bible

⁴⁴ “The tent of testimony was with our ancestors in the wilderness. Moses built it just as he had been instructed by the one who spoke to him and according to the pattern he had seen. ⁴⁵ In time, when they had received the tent, our ancestors carried it with them when, under Joshua’s leadership, they took possession of the land from the nations whom God expelled. This tent remained in the land until the time of David. ⁴⁶ God approved of David, who asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.^[a]
