Hag 2:12 | TNotes | STEP | 2:12 will it also become holy? This question refers to meat from a holy sacrifice and the way in which ceremonial purity and impurity could be transferred (see thematic note for Clean, Unclean, and Holy at end of chapter). Carrying the holy sacrifice—the meat set aside and prepared for the offering—rendered one’s robe holy (cp. Lev 6:18 ). This holiness, however, could not be transmitted to a third object.
