22<\/strong>. The marriage of the priests. They shall marry only virgins, or the widows of former priests. In Lev 21:14<\/span> marrying a widow of any kind is forbidden to the high-priest, but no restriction is imposed on the priests ( Eze 44:7<\/em><\/span>). Ezek. makes no allusion anywhere to a high-priest.<\/p>\n Verse 22<\/span>. Neither shall they take for their wives a widow<\/B><\/I>] This was prohibited to the high priest<\/I> only, by Moses, Le 21:13-14<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n God allowed them to marry, only directs that it be not to one of ill fame or divorced, Lev 21:13<\/span>,14<\/span>, nor the widow of any deceased common person; yet a priest might realty a priests widow, but a virgin is rather commended to their choice; and whether widow or virgin, it must not be as Moses married a daughter of a strange people, or as they did in Babylon, Ezr 10:18<\/span>, &c.; and possibly this of Ezekiel was designed as a rule to direct Ezra in reforming this disorder when they came from Babylon. Nor were they at liberty to marry any of any tribe, but it must be one of their own tribe too. <\/P> <\/p>\n Neither shall they take for their wives a widow<\/strong>,…. Who has been not only another man’s, but at her own will, and done her own pleasure, and been her own mistress, and so not easily brought into subjection, and to behave as becoming her station:<\/p>\n or her that is put away<\/strong>; or, “thrust forth” q; out of doors; whose husband has given her a bill of divorce; since she may be suspected of having done some ill thing:<\/p>\n but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel<\/strong>; virgins, and not of the families of unconverted persons, who have been brought up in an irreligious way, but of godly families, and who have had a religious education:<\/p>\n or a widow that had a priest before<\/strong>: and so used to religious exercises, and to the manner of living of such persons. All good men should be careful whom they marry, and especially ministers of the Gospel; who are here supposed and allowed to marry, contrary to the church of Rome, which forbids her priests to marry. It is observed by some, and with great propriety, that in the latter days antichristian churches will be disowned; and that godly faithful ministers will become pastors, and take the care of such churches, who are like a chaste virgin espoused to Christ, and such who have had faithful pastors over them before. This seems to refer to the law concerning the marriage of the high priest, Le 21:13<\/span>, and what is there enjoined him is here enjoined all the priests of the Lord; and therefore, as Kimchi rightly observes, this is a new rule respecting future times.<\/p>\n q “expulsam”, Montanus, Heb; “ejectam”, Piscator.<\/p>\n (22) A widow that had a priest before<\/strong>.In regard both to marriage and to mourning (Eze. 44:25-27<\/span>) the Levitical law made a broad distinction between the ordinary priest and the high priest. The former was only forbidden to marry a divorced woman (Lev. 21:7<\/span>), but was allowed to marry a widow; the latter could marry only a virgin of Israel (ib.<\/em> 14). So also in the law of mourning; the high priest might not be defiled nor make any sign of mourning even for his nearest of kin (Lev. 21:11-14<\/span>). Ezekiel does not recognise this distinction, and in fact nowhere mentions the high priest at all; but, instead, gives a general law for all priests, somewhat between the two.<\/p>\n 22<\/strong>. <\/strong> The restriction is now placed upon all priests which was formerly laid only upon the high priest (Lev 21:7-14<\/span>). This shows once more the supreme holiness of the new temple.<\/p>\n Eze 44:22 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 22. Neither shall they take for their wives.<\/strong> ] Ministers, of all men, should be careful whom they wed, for many reasons. Hear what good counsel one minister a<\/em> of mine acquaintance gave another: <\/p>\n “ Quaere tibi uxorem quae sit Pia, Pulchra, Pudica,<\/p>\n Provida, verborum Parca, et Parere parata. ”<\/p>\n “Seek for yourself a wife who is pius, beautiful, chaste,<\/p>\n has forsight, of few words, and prepared to have children.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Mr Thomas Dugard.<\/p>\n Neither shall they, &c. Reference to Pentateuch (Lev 21:14). App-92. <\/p>\n Neither: This was prohibited only to the high priest under the law; but is here extended to all the priests, perhaps to intimate the superior sanctity of the times to which it refers. <\/p>\n a widow: Lev 21:7, Lev 21:13, Lev 21:14, 1Ti 3:2, 1Ti 3:4, 1Ti 3:5, 1Ti 3:11, 1Ti 3:12, Tit 1:6 <\/p>\n put away: Heb. thrust forth, Deu 24:1-4 <\/p>\n that had a priest before: Heb. from a priest <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Deu 24:2 – she may go Ezr 10:18 – the sons 2Co 11:2 – a chaste<\/p>\n Eze 44:22. This verse likewise is on the same basis as the law of Moses. The restriction against marrying a widow was not applicable in the case of one who had been married to a priest before.<\/p>\n 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. 22.
