Doctrine Analysis
Haggai — Doctrine Analysis (Hmong Language Package)
Part A — Doctrine Matrix
This matrix enumerates the four doctrines assigned to this curriculum, cross-referenced against every supporting passage in Haggai (both chapters, all sections), with risk tier and review routing held identical to assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json. No doctrine, tier, or routing value in this document may diverge from that registry; this file adds granularity (passage-by-passage translation risk detail) beneath the registry’s book-level summary.
| ID | Doctrine | Supporting Passages (Haggai) | Risk Level | Translation Risk Summary | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Priorities: God’s House versus Self-Interest | 1:2, 1:4, 1:8-9, 2:3, 2:15-18 | Critical | Tsev (“house”) root shared with tsev dab (spirit-shrine); temple “ruin” (chareb) parallels folk decay-as-spirit-anger framework; my-house/your-house contrast (1:9) must never be smoothed away. | Human theologian |
| 2 | Obedience and Blessing | 1:5-11, 1:12-14, 2:10-14, 2:15-19 | Critical | Economic futility catalog and its reversal risk collapse into impersonal hmoov (fate) or appeasable spirit-anger rather than covenant cause-and-effect; 2:10-14’s holiness-contagion logic structurally resembles Hmong folk ritual-contagion and risks a “ritual fix” reading instead of the text’s actual resolution (renewed obedience). | Human theologian |
| 3 | The Presence and Spirit of God with His People | 1:12-14, 2:4-5 | Critical | Two ruach occurrences one chapter apart demand opposite disambiguation (human spirit unprefixed vs. divine Spirit “Vaj”-prefixed) with zero margin for error; “I am with you” (1:13, 2:4) risks assimilation into spirit-companionship belief unless explicitly anchored to tus Tswv. | Human theologian |
| 4 | The Coming Glory of the Temple | 2:1-9, 2:20-23 | High | ”LORD of hosts” title (mandatory military qualifier) risks a shamanic “spirit-general” hearing if the qualifier is ever dropped; cosmic shaking (2:6-7, 2:21) has comprehension-level overlap with cosmic-battle imagery; “treasures/Desire of all nations” (2:7) carries an unresolved material-vs-messianic interpretive fork. | Human theologian |
Part B — Full-Book Chapter-and-Section Coverage Log
Per the PRD full-book-coverage mandate and 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §1/§8, every section of Haggai’s two chapters is logged below, whether or not it introduces new doctrinal or terminological load. Sections contributing no new terms/doctrines are explicitly marked “Reviewed — no new load-bearing content” rather than silently omitted.
Chapter 1
| Section | Content Summary | Doctrines Touched | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Dating formula (Darius II); word of the LORD to Zerubbabel (governor) and Joshua (high priest) via Haggai the prophet | General framing; introduces #13 tus cev Vajtswv Lus, #14 tus Tswv Xeev, #15 Tuam Pov Thawj, #16 Vajtswv Txoj Lus | Reviewed — terms logged in 08_core_glossary.md §B; no doctrine-matrix entry required (introductory framing, not doctrinal content) |
| 1:2 | ”This people say the time has not come to rebuild the LORD’s house” | D1 | Covered above (matrix row 1) |
| 1:3-4 | Contrast: paneled houses vs. the LORD’s house in ruins | D1 | Covered above (matrix row 1); core passage anchor |
| 1:5-6 | ”Consider your ways” + futility catalog (sown much, harvest little; eat/not full; drink/not filled; wages into a bag with holes) | D2 | Covered above (matrix row 2); core passage anchor |
| 1:7-8 | Second “consider your ways” refrain; command to bring wood and build, that the LORD may take pleasure and be glorified | D1, D4 (glory anticipated) | Covered above (matrix rows 1 and 4, minor glory-term anchor) |
| 1:9-11 | ”I blew it away”; heavens withhold dew, earth withholds produce, drought called on grain/wine/oil/labor — “because of my house that lies in ruins, while you busy yourselves each with his own house” | D1, D2 | Covered above (matrix rows 1-2); core passage anchor, highest term-density section in the book |
| 1:12 | Zerubbabel, Joshua, and all the remnant obey the voice of the LORD and fear before Him | D2, D3 (remnant as recipients of stirred spirit, see 1:14) | Covered above (matrix rows 2-3) |
| 1:13 | Haggai’s assurance: “I am with you, declares the LORD” | D3 | Covered above (matrix row 3) |
| 1:14 | The LORD stirs up the spirit (ruach, human referent) of Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the remnant; they come and work on the house | D3 | Covered above (matrix row 3); critical anthropological-spirit disambiguation point |
| 1:15 | Date notice closing chapter 1 | None — chronological marker | Reviewed — no new load-bearing content |
Chapter 2
| Section | Content Summary | Doctrines Touched | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2:1-3 | Second oracle date; rhetorical question — “Who is left who saw the former glory of this house? How does it look to you now?” | D4 | Covered above (matrix row 4) |
| 2:4-5 | Command to be strong and work; “I am with you” repeated; covenant made when they came out of Egypt; “my Spirit remains in your midst” | D3 | Covered above (matrix row 3); critical divine-Spirit disambiguation point (2:5) |
| 2:6-9 | ”Yet once more I will shake the heavens and the earth… the treasures of all nations shall come… the silver is mine, the gold is mine… the latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former” | D4 | Covered above (matrix row 4); core interpretive-fork passage (2:7) |
| 2:10-14 | Priestly-law illustration: holy flesh in a garment does not sanctify by contact, but the unclean does defile by contact; applied — “so is this people… and so is every work of their hands… it is defiled” | D2 | Covered above (matrix row 2); structurally the most doctrinally dangerous passage in the book per the registry |
| 2:15-19 | ”Consider from this day onward” — before the foundation was laid, futility persisted (echo of ch.1 catalog); from this day forward, “I will bless you” | D1, D2 | Covered above (matrix rows 1-2); resolution/reversal of the ch.1 futility catalog; introduces sanctioned koob hmoov usage (glossary §A item #10) |
| 2:20-23 | Second oracle to Zerubbabel alone: overthrow of kingdoms and their thrones; “I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you… my servant” | D3 (typological continuation of election/servant theme), D4 | Covered above (matrix rows 3-4); introduces royal-messianic avdi/“my servant” honorific (glossary §B item #37) and signet-ring imagery (item #38) |
Coverage confirmation: All 38 verses across both chapters of Haggai have been accounted for above, either under an active doctrine-matrix row or explicitly logged as reviewed with no new load-bearing content (1:1 framing, 1:15 and implicit date markers). No section has been silently skipped.
Part C — Cross-Doctrine Interaction Notes
Several passages carry more than one doctrine simultaneously and require coordinated (not independently-resolved) translation handling:
- 1:9-11 is the single highest-density passage in the book: it carries both Doctrine 1 (the my-house/your-house contrast) and Doctrine 2 (the futility catalog and its causal attribution to the LORD, not fate or spirit-anger) in the same eleven verses that also constitute the core passage (1:1-11). Any translation unit built on the core passage must satisfy both doctrines’ preservation rules simultaneously — see
12_ai_translation_requirements.md§4 conventions once drafted for this book. - 1:12-14 bridges Doctrine 2 (obedience as the hinge that reverses futility) and Doctrine 3 (the stirred human spirit as the Spirit-enabled response to that obedience), meaning the anthropological ntsuj plig rendering at 1:14 must be taught in explicit sequence with — not isolation from — the obedience narrative of 1:12.
- 2:5 (divine Spirit) and 1:14 (human spirit) form a matched pair that must be taught together as a single disambiguation unit, per Doctrine 3’s registry description; no lesson introducing one may omit cross-reference to the other.
- 2:15-19 functions as the direct resolution of 1:9-11, meaning Doctrine 1 and Doctrine 2’s futility material must be taught as a single narrative arc (curse → obedience → blessing) rather than as two unrelated lessons, to preserve the covenant cause-and-effect logic against a fate/hmoov misreading.
- 2:20-23 extends Doctrine 3’s election/presence theme into explicitly messianic-typological territory (signet ring, “my servant,” overthrow of kingdoms) that also touches Doctrine 4 (coming glory); this passage should not be taught as a freestanding “servant” lesson without its Doctrine 4 eschatological frame, per glossary item #37’s escalation flag.
Part D — Escalation Summary (Consistent with 08_core_glossary.md Part D)
All four doctrines in this Language Package are Critical or High tier; per assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json’s routing rule, every doctrine requires human theologian review before publication, with no automated-review bypass. This mirrors the Romans baseline’s precedent (all ten Romans doctrines were also Critical/High) and confirms no Medium/Low-tier doctrine exists in either Language Package to date. Specific escalation triggers (interpretive forks at 2:7, honorific disambiguation at 2:23, proper-name attestation) are enumerated in 08_core_glossary.md Part D and are incorporated here by reference, not restated.
