Acts 7:48
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Connections
ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας τὸν κόσμον καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ οὗτος οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς κύριος ὑπάρχων οὐκ ἐν χειροποιήτοις ναοῖς κατοικεῖ
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הַשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאִי וְהָאָרֶץ הֲדֹם רַגְלָי אֵי-זֶה בַיִת אֲשֶׁר תִּבְנוּ-לִי וְאֵי-זֶה מָקוֹם מְנוּחָתִֽי׃
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
כִּי הַֽאֻמְנָם יֵשֵׁב אֱלֹהִים עַל-הָאָרֶץ הִנֵּה הַשָּׁמַיִם וּשְׁמֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לֹא יְכַלְכְּלוּךָ אַף כִּֽי-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בָּנִֽיתִי׃
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-אֲנִי בוֹנֶה גָּדוֹל כִּֽי-גָדוֹל אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִכָּל-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
כִּי הַֽאֻמְנָם יֵשֵׁב אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָֽאָדָם עַל-הָאָרֶץ הִנֵּה שָׁמַיִם וּשְׁמֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לֹא יְכַלְכְּלוּךָ אַף כִּֽי-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בָּנִֽיתִי׃
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
בִּגְזֵרַת עִירִין פִּתְגָמָא וּמֵאמַר קַדִּישִׁין שְׁאֵֽלְתָא עַד-דִּבְרַת דִּי יִנְדְּעוּן חַיַּיָּא דִּֽי-שַׁלִּיט עִלָּיָא בְּמַלְכוּת אֲנָושָׁא וּלְמַן-דִּי יִצְבֵּא יִתְּנִנַּהּ וּשְׁפַל אֲנָשִׁים יְקִים עֲלַֽיהּ׃
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
דְּנָה פִשְׁרָא מַלְכָּא וּגְזֵרַת עִלָּיָא הִיא דִּי מְטָת עַל-מַרִאי מַלְכָּֽא׃
This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
אוֹדֶה יְהוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵֽׁם-יְהוָה עֶלְיֽוֹן׃
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
וְלִקְצָת יֽוֹמַיָּא אֲנָה נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר עַיְנַי׀ לִשְׁמַיָּא נִטְלֵת וּמַנְדְּעִי עֲלַי יְתוּב וּלְעִלָּיָא בָּרְכֵת וּלְחַי עָלְמָא שַׁבְּחֵת וְהַדְּרֵת דִּי שָׁלְטָנֵהּ שָׁלְטָן עָלַם וּמַלְכוּתֵהּ עִם-דָּר וְדָֽר׃
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
בְּהַנְחֵל עֶלְיוֹן גּוֹיִם בְּהַפְרִידוֹ בְּנֵי אָדָם יַצֵּב גְּבֻלֹת עַמִּים לְמִסְפַּר בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
When the most High divided their inheritance, to the nations when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
נָהָר פְּלָגָיו יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר-אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשׁ מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיֽוֹן׃
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
יָשׁוּבוּ׀ לֹא עָל הָיוּ כְּקֶשֶׁת רְמִיָּה יִפְּלוּ בַחֶרֶב שָׂרֵיהֶם מִזַּעַם לְשׁוֹנָם זוֹ לַעְגָּם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
