SCRIPTURE

"And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor`s son, whom Milcah bare unto him. And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands." — Genesis 24:47 (ASV)

Upon her face. —Hebrew, upon her nose. This mistranslation explains the strange rendering jewel for the forehead in the margin of Genesis 24:22.
