And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
I put a jewel on thy forehead - rather, 'a ring in thy nose' (Isaiah 3:21).
A crown - at once the badge of a bride, and of her being made a queen, as being consort of the king: the very name Israel meaning 'a prince of God.' So they are called 'a kingdom of priests' (Exodus 19:6; cf. Revelation 1:6). Though the external blessings bestowed on Israel were great, yet not these, but the internal and spiritual form the main reference in the kingly marriage to which Israel was advanced.
