A Promise To Rebuild

10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of the second year that Darius was king, Jehovah spoke again to the prophet Haggai. 11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Ask now the priests for a ruling: 12 A man takes a piece of consecrated meat from a sacrifice and carries it in a fold of his robe. He then lets his robe touch any bread, cooked food, wine, olive oil, or any kind of food at all. Will it make that food consecrated also? When the question was asked, the priests answered, No.
