*
For the glory of this house shall be great ,
the latter more than the former ,
saith the Lord Almighty :
and in this place will I give peace ,
saith the Lord Almighty ,
even peace of soul for (
note :)
Or ,
salvation (:
note )
a possession to every one that builds ,
to raise up this temple .
*
On the four and twentieth day of the ninth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
the word of the Lord came to Aggaeus the prophet ,
saying ,
*
Thus saith the Lord Almighty ;
Inquire now of the priest concerning the law ,
saying ,
*
If a man should take holy flesh in the skirt of his garment ,
and the skirt of his garment should touch bread ,
or pottage ,
or wine ,
or oil ,
or any meat ,
shall it be (
note :)
Gr .
sanctified (:
note )
holy ?
And the priests answered and said ,
No .
*
And Aggaeus said ,
If a defiled person who is unclean by reason of a dead body ,
touch any of these ,
shall it be defiled ?
And the priests answered and said ,
It shall be defiled .
*
And Aggaeus answered and said ,
So is this people ,
and so is this nation before me ,
saith the Lord ;
and so are all the works of their hands :
and whosoever shall approach them ,
shall be defiled (
note :)
Not in Hebrew (:
note )
because of their early burdens :
they shall be pained because of their toils ;
and ye have hated him that reproved in the gates .
*
And now consider ,
I pray you ,
from this day and beforetime ,
before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord ,
what manner of men ye were .
*
When ye cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley ,
and there were only ten measures of barley :
and ye went (
note :)
Gr .
into (:
note )
to the vat to draw out fifty measures ,
and there were but twenty .
*
I smote you with barrenness ,
and with blasting ,
and all the works of your hands with hail ;
yet ye returned not to me ,
saith the Lord .
*
Set your hearts now to think from this day and upward ,
from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month ,
even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid ;
