In the
four and
twentieth day of the
ninth month, in the
second year of
Darius, came the
word of the
LORD by Haggai the
prophet, saying,
~Iy;T.v t;n.viB yi[yiv.T;l h'['B.r;a.w ~yir.f,[.B ? ayib'N;h y;G;x -l,a h'wh.y -r;b.D h'y'h v,w'y.r'd.l ? r{mael
11
Thus
saith the
LORD of
hosts; Ask now the
priests concerning the
law, saying,
~yin]h{K;h -t,a a'n -l;a.v tw{a'b.c h'wh.y r;m'a h{K ? r{mael h'rw{T
12
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.

13
Then
said Haggai, If one that is
unclean by a dead
body touch any of these, shall it be
unclean? And the
priests answered and
said, It shall be
unclean.

Then
answered Haggai, and
said, So is this
people, and so is this
nation before me,
saith the
LORD; and so is every
work of their
hands; and that which they
offer there is
unclean.

And now, I pray you,
consider* from this
day and
upward, from
before a
stone was
laid upon a
stone in the
temple of the
LORD:

Since those days were, when one
came to an
heap of
twenty measures, there were but
ten: when one
came to the
pressfat for to draw
out fifty vessels out of the
press, there were but
twenty.

I
smote you with
blasting and with
mildew and with
hail in all the
labours of your
hands; yet ye turned not to me,
saith the
LORD.

Consider* now from this
day and
upward, from the
four and
twentieth day of the
ninth month, even from the
day that the
foundation of the
LORD'S temple was laid,
consider* it.

Is the
seed yet in the
barn? yea, as yet the
vine, and the fig
tree, and the
pomegranate, and the
olive tree, hath not brought
forth: from this
day will I
bless you.

And
again the
word of the
LORD came unto
Haggai in the
four and
twentieth day of the
month, saying,

And I will
overthrow the
throne of
kingdoms, and I will
destroy the
strength of the
kingdoms of the
heathen; and I will
overthrow the
chariots, and those that
ride in them; and the
horses and their
riders shall come
down, every
one by the
sword of his
brother.

In that
day, saith the
LORD of
hosts, will I
take thee, O
Zerubbabel, my
servant, the
son of
Shealtiel, saith the
LORD, and will
make thee as a
signet: for I have
chosen thee,
saith the
LORD of
hosts.
