Ezekiel 44:17-23

It shall be that when they enter the gates of the inner courtyard, they shall be clothed in linen garments; no wool shall be on them while they minister at the gates of the inner courtyard and within the temple (house). They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments on their loins; they shall not dress themselves with anything which makes them sweat. When they go out into the outer court, into the outer courtyard to the people, they shall take off the garments in which they have been ministering and leave them in the holy chambers; then they shall put on other clothing so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their [ceremonial] garments. Also they shall not shave their heads, yet they shall not allow their hair to grow long; they shall only cut short or trim their hair. Nor shall any priest drink wine when he enters the inner courtyard. And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman; but they shall marry virgins of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow who was previously married to a priest. The priests shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and teach them to distinguish between the (ceremonially) unclean and the clean.
