And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.

Ezekiel 44:22, Berean Standard Bible

In Ezekiel's vision of the restored temple, God gives statutes for the Zadokite priests, the only priests permitted to serve before Him. This verse limits whom a priest may marry: not a widow generally, and not a divorced woman, but a virgin of Israel or the widow of another priest.
