Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [temples] made with hands. The word "temples," though in the Received Text, is evidently not genuine. The idea is thus quite, general-`dwelleth not in man-made buildings.' Solomon himself sublimely expresses this in his prayer at the consecration of the temple (2 Chronicles 6:18): "But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!"
As saith the prophet (Isaiah 66:1-2) - that is, the Lord by the prophet.
