Ezekiel 44:19-21
New English Translation

19 When they go out to the outer court to the people, they must remove the garments they were ministering in and place them in the holy chambers; they must put on other garments so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.[a]

20 “‘They must not shave their heads[b] nor let their hair grow long;[c] they must only trim their heads. 21 No priest may drink wine when he enters the inner court.
