Acts 7:44-46

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴⁴ ‘Our ancestors had the tent of testimony in the wilderness, as God^[a] directed when he spoke to Moses, ordering him to make it according to the pattern he had seen. ⁴⁵ Our ancestors in turn brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our ancestors. And it was there until the time of David, ⁴⁶ who found favour with God and asked that he might find a dwelling-place for the house of Jacob.^[b]
