11. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests [concerning] the law, saying, 12. If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. 13. Then said Haggai, If [one that is] unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

Lord of hosts. See on Jer. 7:3.

Ask. It was the appointed duty of the priests to teach the people all God’s requirements (see on 2 Chron. 15:3). Consequently a reply by the priests would be considered authoritative.
