Haggai 2:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Haggai 2:10

8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts.

9 ^a‘The glory of this latter¹ temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give ^bpeace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

The People Are Defiled

10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Now, ^aask the priests concerning the law, saying,

12 “If one carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with the edge he touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?” ’ ” Then the priests answered and said, “No.”

13 And Haggai said, “If one who is ^aunclean because of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” So the priests answered and said, “It shall be unclean.”

14 Then Haggai answered and said, ^a“ ‘So is this people, and so is this nation before Me,’ says the Lord, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.

Promised Blessing

15 ‘And now, carefully ^aconsider from this day forward: from before stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the Lord—

16 since those days, ^awhen one came to a heap of twenty ephahs, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty baths from the press, there were but twenty.
