1599 Geneva Bible
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ask now the Priests concerning the Law, and say,
13 If one bear [a]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.

- Haggai 2:13 That is, the flesh of the sacrifices, whereby he signifieth that thing which of itself is good, cannot make another thing so: and therefore they ought not to justify themselves by their sacrifices and ceremonies: but contrary he that is unclean and not pure of heart, doth corrupt those things and make them detestable unto God, which else are good and godly.

New International Version
12 If someone carries consecrated meat(A) in the fold of their garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, olive oil or other food, does it become consecrated?(B)’”
The priests answered, “No.”
13 Then Haggai said, “If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?”
“Yes,” the priests replied, “it becomes defiled.(C)”
14 Then Haggai said, “‘So it is with this people(D) and this nation in my sight,’ declares the Lord. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer(E) there is defiled.
