Haggai 2:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests to decide this question, ¹² ‘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.” ¹³ 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.”
