ולא יחלל זרעו. פירוש אלמנה וגרושה בסתר כי את כל אלה לא יקח בגלוי ואחר שהזכיר קדושת הכהנים החל להזכיר המומין: AND HE SHALL NOT PROFANE HIS SEED. By taking a widow or a divorced woman in secret. These shall he not take (v. 14) means he shall not publicly take any of these women.63Since Scripture has already stated that he may not publicly take a divorced woman, a widow, a harlot, or a profaned woman. Hence our verse refers to secret intercourse with these women. After Scripture mentions the sanctity of the kohanim it begins to list the blemishes.64Which disqualify a kohen from offering sacrifices.
