Haggai 2:10-14
1599 Geneva Bible
10 The glory of this last House shall be greater than the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give [a]peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
11 ¶ In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto the Prophet Haggai, saying,
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ask now the Priests concerning the Law, and say,
13 If one bear [b]holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch the bread or the pottage, or the wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the Priests answered and said, No.
14 Then said Haggai, If a polluted person touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the Priests answered, and said, It shall be unclean.
