Leviticus 21:13

Verse 13. Wife. Josephus says he could not divorce her. The Rabbins allow him only one wife at a time. It is said that Joiada had two. But that might be successively; and it is not certain that he was the high priest; (2 Chronicles 24:3. Calmet.) though he has that title in the Vulg. Calmet. 22:11, ibid. Bible.—His wife must be an Isrealite. The Septuagint intimates, “of his own race.” But this is denied by others. He could not marry his brother’s widow, (Selden) nor a girl under twelve and a half. “The Egyptian priests marry only one, while others have as many wives as they please.” Diod. i. Calmet.
