FOREHEAD - F>@ - The practice of veiling the face (forehead) in public for women of the high classes, especially married women, in the East, sufficiently stigmatizes with reproach the unveiled face of women of bad character. kjv@Genesis:24:64; kjv@Jeremiah:3:3) The custom among many Oriental nations both of coloring the face and forehead and of impressing on the body marks indicative of devotion to some special deity or religious sect is mentioned elsewhere. The "jewels for the forehead," mentioned by Ezekiel, kjv@Ezekiel:16:12) and in margin of Authorized Version, kjv@Genesis:24:22) were in all probability nose-rings. kjv@Isaiah:3:21)
