Haggai 2:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests for a ruling:^{(A) 12} If one carries consecrated meat in the fold of one’s garment and with the fold touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?” The priests answered, “No.”^{(B) 13} Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?” The priests answered, “Yes, it becomes unclean.”^(C)
