Compare all
40 asaying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’  
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,

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

46 awho found favor before God and basked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob.  
47 aBut Solomon built Him a house.  
48 “However, athe Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:

Or what is the place of My rest? 
50 Has My hand not amade all these things?’
