"Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands,.... Such an one as Solomon's was; he did indeed dwell in his temple, but he was not confined to
it, nor included in it, or circumscribed by it; and so much Solomon himself suggests, when he expresses his wonder at his dwelling on earth, seeing the heaven of heavens could not contain him, and still less the house which he had built, Kg1 8:27 , "the most High", is one of the names of God, Gen 14:18 the Apostle Paul says the same of God as Stephen does here; Act 17:24 "as saith the prophet"; the prophet Isaiah, Isa 66:1 .
