Haggai 2:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ “This is what the Lord of Armies says: Ask the priests for a decision. ¹² Suppose a person carries meat set aside for a holy purpose and he folds it up in his clothes. If his clothes touch bread, boiled food, wine, oil, or any kind of food, does that make the food holy?”

The priests answered, “No.”

¹³ Haggai asked, “Suppose a person becomes unclean ^[a] by touching a corpse. If he touches any of these things, does that make them unclean?”

The priests answered, “That makes them unclean.”
