Acts 7:40

39 whom our fathers ^awould not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,

41 ^aAnd they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and ^brejoiced in the works of their own hands.

42 Then ^aGod turned and gave them up to worship ^bthe host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
^c‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?

And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And ^aI will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
