Contextual Overview

42Because of this, God turned his back on all those folks. He let them worship the sun, the moon, and the stars. But these things couldn't do anything for them. This is why the Good Book said, 'Did y'all bring me offerings and sacrifices during the forty years in the wilderness? 43No, you didn't. Y'all were too busy cavorting with battle gods and slutty goddesses. Y'all worshiped them with all of your might. That's why I will send y'all to Babylon.' 44"Our ancestors had a tent to worship the true God in while they were in the wilderness. It wasn't that the tent was where God was, it was the fact that God was with his people where they were. God had even told Moses how to set it up and where. 45Many years later, when Josh battled against the people who were in the land God had given the Israelites, the tent was there with them. It stayed in the land until the time of David. 46God loved David, especially when David asked to build God a permanent place to be worshiped. 47God didn't let David build it, but he did let his son Solomon complete the church. 48"But listen close, guys. God doesn't live in a barn made by humans. Remember that prophet who said, 49'Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Can you humans build something worthy like that for me? Could you even envision such a thing for me to rest my feet? 50Don't you remember it was my hands that created all the heavens and the entire earth?'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hath not my hand made all these things? The heaven, and the earth, and all that is in them; the Arabic version renders it, "all these creatures"; and therefore what can be made for God? or what house built for him? in Isaiah the words are read without an interrogation, and affirm that his hand had made all these things, and therefore nothing could be made for him suitable to him, by the hands of men.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 50. Hath not my hand made all these things? — Stephen certainly had not finished his discourse, nor drawn his inferences from the facts already stated; but it is likely that, as they perceived he was about to draw conclusions unfavourable to the temple and its ritual, they immediately raised up a clamour against him, which was the cause of the following very cutting address.
