Acts 7:37-43 - Israel's Rebellion Against God
37 It was this Moses who said to the descendants of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among you, just as He did me.' 38 This is the one who in the congregation in the desert went between the angel, who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and our forefathers, who also received, to be handed down to you, utterances that still live. 39 But our forefathers would not listen to him, but pushed him aside, and in their hearts they hankered after Egypt; 40 and they said to Aaron, 'Make us gods to march in front of us, for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him!'
41 In those days they even made a calf, and offered sacrifice to their idol, and held a celebration over the works of their own hands. 42 So God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the starry host, as it is written in the Book of the Prophets: 'Did you really offer me victims and sacrifices those forty years in the desert, O house of Israel? 43 No, you offered me the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rompha, the images you had made to worship! So I will now remove you beyond Babylon.'
