Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Haggai 2:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. "Holy flesh" (that is, the flesh of a sacrifice, :- ), indeed, makes holy the "skirt" in which it is carried; but that "skirt" cannot impart its sanctity to any thing beyond, as "bread," &c. ( :- ). This is cited to illustrate the principle, that a sacrifice, holy, as enveloping divine things (just as the "skirt" is "holy" which envelops "holy" flesh), cannot by its inherent or opus operatum efficacy make holy a person whose disobedience, as that of the Jew while neglecting God's house, made him unholy. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
