Acts 7:35-45

35 "This Moses whom they refused, saying, `Who made thee a ruler and a judge?' was the same whom God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer, by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 He brought them out after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 This is that Moses who said unto the children of Israel, `A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear.'
38 This is he, who in the church in the wilderness was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers--the one who received the living oracles to give unto us,
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
40 saying unto Aaron, `Make us gods to go before us; for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has become of him.'
41 And they made a calf in those days and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 "Then God turned, and gave them up to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets: `O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me slain beasts and sacrifices for the space of forty years in the wilderness?
43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Remphan, images which ye made to worship them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.'
44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He had appointed, speaking unto Moses that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen,
45 which also our fathers, who came later, brought with Joshua into the territory of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David.
