Leviticus21:14

14 A widow , or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take, but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.

Except she were the widow of his predecessour, which some gather from Ezek. 44. 22. But that place speaks onely of the common Priest, not of the High-priest.

(i. e.) Either 1. of his own tribe, which is confuted by the examples of holy men. See 2 Chron. 22. 11. Or 2. of the seed of Israel, as it is explained Ezek. 44. 22.
