Acts 7:44-46

Living Bible

⁴⁴ “Our ancestors carried along with them a portable Temple, or Tabernacle, through the wilderness. In it they kept the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them. This building was constructed in exact accordance with the plan shown to Moses by the Angel. ⁴⁵ Years later, when Joshua led the battles against the Gentile nations, this Tabernacle was taken with them into their new territory, and used until the time of King David.

⁴⁶ “God blessed David greatly, and David asked for the privilege of building a permanent Temple for the God of Jacob.
