Acts 7:43

And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And. will carry you away beyond Babylon.

'TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH'-The idolatry which started in the wilderness finally resulted in such things as human sacrifice (which was involved in worshipping Moloch). The 'tabernacle of Moloch' may refer to. portable tent-temple for the god. 'Moloch was the god of the Amorites to whom children were offered as live sacrifices, an ox-headed image with arms outstretched in which children were placed and hollow underneath so that fire could burn underneath.' (Robertson p. 93)

'STAR OF THE GOD REPHAN'-the planet Saturn?

'I WILL CARRY YOU AWAY BEYOND BABYLON'-Which was the punishment for their idolatry. The text of Amos 2:27 says 'beyond Damascus', but Stephen is giving inspired commentary. The exile beyond Damascus was Babylon and such places even far east-i.e. Persia.

THE TABERNACLE/TEMPLE

'In referring to the tabernacle and the temple, Stephen is derogatory to neither. On the contrary, they were associated with some of the greatest names of Israelite history--Moses, Joshua, David and Solomon..' (Stott p. 138)
