^7 (A)They shall not take a wife who is a harlot or a defiled woman, nor shall they take a woman ^(B)divorced from her husband; for ^[a]the priest is holy to his God.

¹³ And he shall take a wife in her virginity. ¹⁴ A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman or a harlot—these he shall not marry; but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife.

²² They shall not take as wife a ^(A)widow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the descendants of the house of Israel, or widows of priests.

⁸ Therefore you shall ^[a]consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for ^(A)I the Lord, who ^(B)sanctify you, am holy.

¹¹ Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not ^[a]slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

The Servant, Israel’s Hope

50 Thus says the Lord:

Law Concerning Divorce

24 “When a ^(A)man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some ^[a]uncleanness in her, and he writes her a ^(B)certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, ² when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife, ³ if the latter husband detests her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her as his wife, ^4 (C)then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is ^[b]an abomination before the Lord, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
