This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Most High
In contrast with heathen gods, who were confined to their temples.
Temples made with hands (χειροποιήτοις ναοῖς)
The best texts omit ναοῖς, temples. The meaning is more general: in things made with hands. The expression is, however, used of a sanctuary in Isa 16:12 : “Moab shall come to his sanctuary (τὰ χειροποίητα).” The phrase work, or works of men's hands, is common in the Old Testament of idols. See Deu 4:28; 2Ki 19:18; 2Ch 32:19; Psa 115:4. Compare Mar 14:58; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, Heb 9:24; 2Co 5:1.
