Acts 7:47-48
Context7:47 But Solomon built a house 7 for him. 7:48 Yet the Most High 8 does not live in houses made by human hands, 9 as the prophet says,
[6:9] 1 tn Heb “ built the house and completed it.”
[6:9] 3 tn The word occurs only here; the precise meaning is uncertain.
[6:9] 4 tn Heb “and rows with cedar wood.”
[6:38] 5 sn In the month Bul. This would be October-November 959
[6:38] 6 tn Heb “he built it in seven years.”
[7:47] 7 sn See 1 Kgs 8:1-21.
[7:48] 8 sn The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).
[7:48] 9 sn The phrase made by human hands is negative in the NT: Mark 14:58; Acts 17:24; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, 24. It suggests “man-made” or “impermanent.” The rebuke is like parts of the Hebrew scripture where the rebuke is not of the temple, but for making too much of it (1 Kgs 8:27; Isa 57:15; 1 Chr 6:8; Jer 7:1-34).
