Haggai 2:10-12

Modern English Version

Blessings on a Defiled People

¹⁰ On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying: ¹¹ Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Now ask the priests concerning the law, saying, ¹² If a man carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and touches with his fold bread or stew, or wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?

The priests answered, “No.”
