*
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet ,
* "
Thus says the LORD of hosts :
Ask the priests to decide this question ,
* `
If one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment ,
and touches with his skirt bread ,
or pottage ,
or wine ,
or oil ,
or any kind of food ,
does it become holy ?'"
The priests answered , "
No ."
*
Then said Haggai , "
If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these ,
does it become unclean ?"
The priests answered , "
It does become unclean ."
