Haggai 2:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ “This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘Ask the priests about what the Law says: ¹² “If a man carries consecrated meat in the folds of his garment, and if his garment touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other edible thing,^[a] will these things become consecrated?”’”^[b]

The priests answered, “No.”

¹³ So Haggai responded, “If someone who is unclean^[c] because of contact with a dead body were to touch any of these things, would they become unclean?”^[d]

The priests responded, “They would be unclean.”^[e]
