EZEKIEL 44:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.”
They shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but only a virgin of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest'—establishing strict marriage regulations for priests. The requirement for virgin brides or priests' widows emphasizes purity and maintains priestly distinctiveness. The restriction reflects the priest's elevated status and sacred function. This verse establishes priestly marriage regulations.
