‘The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD All-Powerful. ‘The new Temple will be greater than the one before,’ says the LORD All-Powerful. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD All-Powerful.” On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month in the second year Darius was king, the LORD spoke his word to Haggai the prophet, saying, “This is what the LORD All-Powerful says: ‘Ask the priests for a teaching. Suppose a person carries in the fold of his clothes some meat made holy for the LORD. If that fold touches bread, cooked food, wine, olive oil, or some other food, will that be made holy?’ ” The priests answered, “No.” Then Haggai said, “A person who touches a dead body will become unclean. If he touches any of these foods, will it become unclean, too?” The priests answered, “Yes, it would become unclean.”
