Ezekiel 44:20 in Context — Ezekiel 44

18 Turbantes de linho estarão em suas cabeças, e calções de linho sobre seus lombos; não se vestirão [com algo que lhes cause] suor.

19 E quando eles saírem ao pátio de fora, ao pátio de fora ao povo, despirão suas vestes com que eles prestaram serviço, as deixarão nas câmaras do santuário, e se vestirão de outras vestes, para que não santifiquem ao povo com suas vestes.

20 E não raparão sua cabeça, nem deixarão crescer o cabelo; mas sim apararão o [cabelo] de suas cabeças.

21 E nenhum dos sacerdotes beberá vinho quando forem entrar no pátio interno.

22 Não tomarão por mulheres nem viúva, nem divorciada, mas sim tomarão virgens da descendência da casa de Israel, ou viúva que for viúva de sacerdote.
