11 [7:35]This is the Moses whom they denied, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? Him did God send to be a ruler and a redeemer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. [7:36]This man brought them out, having performed prodigies and miracles in Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. [7:37]This is the Moses who said to the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up for you, of your brothers, like me. [7:38] This is he that was with the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living oracles to give us, [7:39]whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him away and turned back in their hearts to Egypt, [7:40]saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for this Moses who led us up out of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him. 12 [7:41]And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. [7:42]And God turned and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets; Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel, [7:43]and take up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, figures which you made to worship? I will even remove you beyond Babylon. 13 [7:44]Our fathers in the wilderness received the tabernacle of the testimony, as he that spoke to Moses charged him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen; [7:45]which also our fathers receiving it in succession brought with Joshua into the possession of the nations, whom God expelled before the face of our fathers till the days of David; [7:46]who found favor with God and desired to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. [7:47]And Solomon built him a house. [7:48]But the Most High dwells not in [temples] made with hands, as the prophet says; [7:49]Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool; what house will you build me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? [7:50]has not my hand made all these things? [7:51]Stiff necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always fight against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do. [7:52]Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers, [7:53]who have received the law by orders of angels and have not kept it.
