Reading for March 1st

 Read Haggai 2.10-19. In 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 (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.
