10 A veinticuatro del noveno [mes], en el segundo año de Darío, fué palabra de Jehová por mano del profeta Haggeo, diciendo:

11 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Pregunta ahora á los sacerdotes acerca de la ley, diciendo:

12 Si llevare alguno las carnes sagradas en la falda de su ropa, y con el vuelo [de ella] tocare el pan, ó la vianda, ó el vino, ó el aceite, ú otra cualquier comida, ¿será santificado? Y respondieron los sacerdotes, y dijeron: No.

13 Y dijo Haggeo: Si un inmundo á causa de cuerpo muerto tocare alguna cosa de éstas, ¿será inmunda? Y respondieron los sacerdotes, y dijeron: Inmunda será.

14 Y respondió Haggeo y dijo: Así es este pueblo, y esta gente, delante de mí, dice Jehová; y asimismo toda obra de sus manos; y todo lo que aquí ofrecen es inmundo.
