Haggai 2:10-12

New International Reader's Version

The Lord Will Make His People Pure and “Clean”

¹⁰ A third message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet. The message came on the 24th day of the ninth month of the second year that Darius was king. ¹¹ The Lord who rules over all speaks. He says, “Ask the priests what the law says. ¹² Suppose someone carries holy meat in the clothes they are wearing. And the clothes touch some bread or stew. Or they touch some wine, olive oil or other food. Then do these things also become holy?”

The priests answered, “No.”
