Haggai 2:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ “Ask the priests this question about the law: ¹² ‘If one of you is carrying a holy sacrifice in his robes and happens to brush against some bread or wine or meat, will it too become holy?’”

“No,” the priests replied. “Holiness does not pass to other things that way.”

¹³ Then Haggai asked, “But if someone touches a dead person, and so becomes ceremonially impure, and then brushes against something, does it become contaminated?”

And the priests answered, “Yes.”
