25“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 26You shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god—your images that you made for yourselves, 27and I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.

Direct quotationHigh confidence
Stephen quotes Amos on Israel's idolatry in the wilderness. Acts follows the Greek Old Testament, which names Rephan and says beyond Babylon, where the Hebrew names Sakkuth and Kaiwan and says beyond Damascus.
Evidence:
- Acts 7:39-43
- Amos 5:25-27
Other responsible views
- Wording of the Greek and Hebrew texts: The names of the idols and the place of exile differ between the Hebrew text and the Greek version Stephen cites. The charge of wilderness idolatry and the sentence of exile are the same in both.
