Commentary on Acts 7:44
Theological / DevotionalTabernacle of witness. See on Ex. 25:8; Num. 9:15.
Appointed. The clause reads literally, “even as he appointed who spake unto Moses.” See on Ex. 25:8, 9.
According to the fashion. Rather, “according to the pattern,” as in Heb. 8:5 (see on Ex. 25:9). Stephen’s argument implies that the heavenly sanctuary is the important and central institution, and thus emphasizes the temporary nature of the tabernacle as the focal point in the worship of God.
