Contextual Overview

42 then God left them, and abandon'd them to the worship of the celestial army; as it is written in the book of the prophets , "O ye house of Israel, is it to me that ye have offered victims, and sacrifices, for the space of forty years in the wilderness? 43 on the contrary, ye carried the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: wherefore I will transport you beyond Babylon." 44 our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, ordering Moses to make it according to the model that he had seen. 45 which our fathers and Joshua having receiv'd, they carry'd it into the territory of those nations whom God drove out upon their arrival: where it staid to the time of David, who was favoured by God, 46 and desired to have a settled tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 47 it was Solomon however that built him a temple. 48 altho' the most high does not dwell in temples made with hands; as the prophet said , "heaven is my throne, 49 and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 hath not my hand made all these things?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hath not my hand made all these things? The heaven, and the earth, and all that is in them; the Arabic version renders it, "all these creatures"; and therefore what can be made for God? or what house built for him? in Isaiah the words are read without an interrogation, and affirm that his hand had made all these things, and therefore nothing could be made for him suitable to him, by the hands of men.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 50. Hath not my hand made all these things? — Stephen certainly had not finished his discourse, nor drawn his inferences from the facts already stated; but it is likely that, as they perceived he was about to draw conclusions unfavourable to the temple and its ritual, they immediately raised up a clamour against him, which was the cause of the following very cutting address.
