44 [a]Our fathers had the Tabernacle of [b]witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto (A)Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
45 (B)Which tabernacle also our fathers [c]received, and brought in with Jesus into the [d]possession of the Gentiles, which God drove out [e]before our fathers, unto the days of David:
46 (C)Who found favor before God, and desired that he might find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
