|
\'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?\'" The priests answered, "No." |
13
|
Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, will it be unclean?" The priests answered, "It will be unclean." |
14
|
Then Haggai answered, "\'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,\' says Yahweh; \'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean. |

22
|
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother. |
23
|
In that day, says Yahweh of Hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,\' says Yahweh, \'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,\' says Yahweh of Hosts." |
