New Testament

Ezekiel 44:22-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. And they shall not take as wife a widow or one who has been divorced. Instead, they shall take virgins from the offspring of the house of Israel. But they may also take a widow, if she is the widow of a priest.

23. And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and defiled, and they shall distinguish for them between clean and unclean.

24. And when there has been a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and they shall judge. They shall observe my laws and my precepts, in all my solemnities, and they shall sanctify my Sabbaths.

25. And they shall not enter to a dead person, lest they be defiled, except to father or mother, or son or daughter, or brother, or to a sister who does not have another man. By these, they may become unclean.

26. And after he will have been cleansed, they shall number for him seven days.
