Haggai 2:10-12

Contemporary English Version

The Past and the Future

¹⁰ On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month,^[a] the Lord God All-Powerful told the prophet Haggai ¹¹ to ask the priests for their opinion on the following matters:

¹² Suppose meat ready to be sacrificed to God is being carried in the folds of someone's clothing, and the clothing rubs against some bread or stew or wine or olive oil or any other food. Would those foods that were touched then become acceptable for sacrifice?

“Of course not,” the priests answered.
