And I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
Read Chapter 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Forehead. Literally, "mouth. "Hebrew, "nose. "(Haydock)
Women wore rings where spectacles are placed, and had others hung at their noses, so as to touch the mouth. People who are not acquainted with this odd custom, which is still prevalent in Africa and Asia, suppose that the ornament hung upon the forehead, as St. Jerome does. See Genesis xxiv. 22. (Calmet)
