‏ Ezekiel 16:12

Verse 12. I put a jewel on thy forehead] al appech, upon thy nose. This is one of the most common ornaments among ladies in the east. European translators, not knowing what to make of a ring in the nose, have rendered it, a jewel on thy forehead or mouth, (though they have sometimes a piece of gold or jewel fastened to the centre of their forehead.) I have already spoken of this Asiatic custom, so often referred to in the sacred writings: see Ge 24:22, 42; Ex 32:2; Job 42:11; Pr 11:22; Isa 3:21; Ho 2:13.
