Dict: easton - Forehead

easton:

Forehead @ The practice common among Oriental nations of colouring the forehead or impressing on it some distinctive mark as a sign of devotion to some deity is alluded to in kjv@Revelation:13:16-17 kjv@Revelation:14:9 kjv@Revelation:17:5 ; 20:4. The "jewel on thy forehead" mentioned in kjv@Ezekiel:16:12 (R.V., "a ring upon thy nose") was in all probability the "nose-ring" kjv@Isaiah:3:21). In kjv@Ezekiel:3:7 the word "impudent" is rightly rendered in the Revised Version "an hard forehead." (
