Haggai 2:11-13
The Voice
11 The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, told Haggai to ask the priests to explain what the law says about this scenario:
Haggai: 12 If a person is carrying sacred meat, the meat of the sacrifices, in the fold of his garment and that garment comes into contact with some ordinary bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food; then does it transfer its sacredness to the new food?
Priests: No.
Haggai: 13 What about this situation then? If a person who is ritually impure from touching a dead body[a] touches one of these foods, does he transfer the impurity to it?
Priests: Yes, it is now impure.
