Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 7:43

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Molech, and the star of your god Remphan, m figures which ye made, to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

On their shoulders, as they did the Ark.

The Idol of the children of Ammon, which the Israelites were especially forbidden to worship, Lev. 18.21. and Lev. 20.2. yet they did ordinarily worship him, 2 Chron. 28.3. Ier. 7.3. And there was an high place built by Solomon for him, 1 Kings 11.7. The tabernacle of Molech, was either a chest or press in which that Idol was put, or the Chappels into which the worshippers of Molech were admitted; according to the quality of the Offering which they brought. Which of the planets they intended to honour hereby, whether the Sun, or Mars, or Saturn, it matters not so much; any of these, or any other of their Gods, might be called Molech, taking the word appellatively.

Remphan in the place here cited, is called by the Prophet Chiun; which is one and the same Idol in both places, the Prophet calling it by its name then in use; and St. Stephen like unto the name the Septuagint had called it by; whither Saturn was intended by this, as some think, or Hercules as others, it is not our present business to enquire.

Images and representatives of the hosts of Heaven, or of the Planets.

The Prophet Amos saith, beyond Damascus, Amos 5.27. here St. Stephen does not contradict the Prophet, for they who were carryed away beyond Babylon, must needs be carryed away beyond Damascus, as the ten captive Tribes were, (unto whom this was threatned.)
