Haggai 2:12
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.
Cross-references
Leviticus 6:27
Parallel
Leviticus 6:27 states that touching the sin offering's flesh makes the object holy — the direct-contact principle that Haggai's question about indirect transfer via garment builds upon.
Ezekiel 44:19
Contrast
Ezekiel 44:19 warns that priests' holy garments could transmit holiness to the people — directly contradicting Haggai's conclusion that holy meat in a garment does not make touched food holy.
Exodus 29:37
Parallel
Exodus 29:37 declares that whatever touches the altar becomes holy — a direct-contact holiness transfer that parallels Haggai's question about indirect transfer via a garment.
