Haggai 2:12

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

If someone carries sacred meat in their clothes and then their clothes touch bread, soup, wine, oil, or any other food — does that make the food sacred too? The priests were like, 'Nope, doesn't work that way.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Holiness doesn't transfer by accident — it's way more intentional than that.
