Bible Question:
what is the meaning of haggai chapter 2 verse 12 and 13 |
Bible Answer: Greetings guitar01! Here is a little commentary on Haggai 2:12-13... "2:12 The first question is: Since a man who is carrying holy meat, that is, meat for a sacrifice, is sanctified (cf. Lev. 6:27), can he transfer that sanctification to things he touches? The answer is, No." (1) "2:13 The second question is: Since a man who touches a corpse is defiled, does he transfer that defilement to other things he touches (cf. Num. 19:11-13)? The answer is, Yes. The point of these two questions is this: Sanctification or cleanness cannot be transferred, but defilement can (just as health is not contagious, but disease can be). The disobedience of the people was like a dead thing in their midst, contaminating all of them (v. 14)."
