11 “This is what the Lord of Armies says: Ask the priests for a ruling.c 12 If a man is carrying consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does it become holy?”d

The priests answered, “No.”

13 Then Haggai asked, “If someone defiled by contact with a corpse touches any of these, does it become defiled?”e

The priests answered, “It becomes defiled.”
