¹² If a man carries ^(A)holy meat in the ^[a]fold of his garment and touches bread with ^[b]this fold or cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.” ¹³ Then Haggai said, “^(B)If one who is unclean from a ^[c]corpse touches any of these, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.” ¹⁴ Then Haggai answered and said, “‘^(C)So is this people. And so is this nation before Me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they bring near to Me there is unclean.
