Read Haggai 2.10-19 The promise of agricultural bounty.
Haggai announces that God will bless the people's work on the Temple by granting
them good harvests.
In verse 12 the point of this priestly decision is that holiness cannot be transferred
(from consecrated meat carried home to eat; Lev 6.26-27; 7.16-17).
In verse 13 the point of this priestly decision is that uncleanness can be transferred
(from a "corpse" through a person to other objects; Num 5.1-4).
In verse 14 both of these previous questions (vv. 12-13) simply set up Haggai's point in this verse:
Without a proper worship space, uncleanness has tainted all that the people have done.
