Haggai 2:10-14. In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month At which time, as appears from Haggai 2:16; Haggai 2:19, (the materials being collected,) they began to go on again with the building of the temple. Ask now concerning the law What the law saith in this case. The question was put to the priests, whose office it was to put a difference between holy and unholy, between clean and unclean, Leviticus 10:10: that is, to be thoroughly acquainted with all the ceremonial laws, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:10-19

Promises of blessing (2:10-19)At the end of three months all the foundation work was finished (cf. 1:14-15; 2:18). Zechariah had successfully urged the people to repent (Zechariah 1:1-6), and now Haggai emphasized again that spiritual cleansing was the only way by which they could enjoy God’s blessing (10).Haggai reminded the people that their wrong attitudes in the past had been the cause of all their troubles. He gave an illustration to show that contact with unclean things made a person... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Haggai 2:14

"Then answered Haggai and said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, saith Jehovah; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. And now, I pray you, consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah."Thus, Haggai applied the analogy we have already discussed under the previous verses. Yes, the altar they had erected upon the original site, in conformity to God's law, was "holy", but the sinful... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Haggai 2:10-14

Haggai 2:10-14. In the four-and-twentieth day, &c.— Three months after they had begun to build the temple, Haggai receives orders from the Lord, to go and propose two questions to the priests, respecting the ceremonies of the law; in order from their answer to draw instruction for the princes and the people. He first asks, whether the sanctified flesh of a sacrifice which a man carried in the lappet of his garment, communicated its sanctity, and rendered the things which he approached and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:14

14. Then answered Haggai—rather, "Then Haggai answered (in rejoinder to the priests' answer) and said" [MAURER]. so is this people—heretofore not in such an obedient state of mind as to deserve to be called My people (Titus 1:15). Here he applies the two cases just stated. By the first case, "this people" is not made "holy" by their offerings "there" (namely, on the altar built in the open air, under Cyrus, Titus 1:15- :); though the ritual sacrifice can ordinarily sanctify outwardly so far as... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Haggai 2:14

Haggai then made an application of this principle to the people for the Lord. Their sacrifices were unacceptable to God because they were unclean. They should not think that contact with something holy, such as the temple they were working to complete, made them acceptable to God. They had previously been unclean, so their present sacrifices were unacceptable to God. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Haggai 2:10-19

(10-19) The Fourth Utterance.—The recent season of scarcity is again accounted for and immediate blessings are announced. This address dates about two months later than its predecessor—viz., from the ninth month—scil., Chisleu (November—December), when the early rain would be looked for to water the newly-sown crops. At such a time, especially after the scarcity of the preceding season, there would naturally be great anxiety about agricultural prospects. read more
