Acts 7:45-47

Expanded Bible

⁴⁵ Later, Joshua led our ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers] to ·capture [take possession of] the lands of the other nations. Our people went in, and God forced the other people out [Josh. 1—12]. When our people went into this new land, they took with them this same ·Tent [^TTabernacle] they had received from their ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers]. They kept it until the time of David, ⁴⁶ who ·pleased [^Lfound favor with] God and asked God to ·let him build a house [^Lfind a dwelling place] for him, the God of Jacob^[a] [2 Sam. 7]. ⁴⁷ But Solomon was the one who built ·the Temple [^La house for him; 1 Kin. 7—8].
