Ezekiel 44:21

The Duties of the Priests

20They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.21No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.22And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.
