Context of Haggai 2:10
8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 9The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!” On December 18 of the second year of King Darius’s reign, the Lord sent this message to the prophet Haggai: 11“This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says. Ask the priests this question about the law: 12‘If one of you is carrying some meat from a holy sacrifice in his robes and his robe happens to brush against some bread or stew, wine or olive oil, or any other kind of food, will it also become holy?’” The priests replied, “No.”
