Then God turned, and gave them up to worship 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 by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
Entonces Dios los abandonó y los dejó adorar a los astros del cielo, como está escrito en el libro de los profetas: 'Casa de Israel, ¿acaso me ofrecieron sacrificios y ofrendas durante los cuarenta años en el desierto?'
Dios permitió que Israel adorara ídolos como consecuencia de rechazarlo, cumpliendo lo que estaba profetizado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Acts, Stephen is delivering a defense speech before the Jewish Sanhedrin, recounting Israel's long history of rebellion against God to highlight their pattern of unfaithfulness. This verse specifically draws from the prophet Amos, referring to the wilderness period after the Exodus when the Israelites turned to idolatry by worshiping the stars and heavenly bodies, as God allowed them to face the consequences of their actions despite His prior deliverance and provision. It serves as a stern reminder within Stephen's narrative of how God's people often mixed true worship with false practices.
