In biblical literature, the forehead can symbolize identity, character, or divine ownership. It is a place of visibility and recognition, often associated with signs or marks that denote allegiance or status.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the forehead was considered a prominent part of the body for displaying marks or symbols. These could be physical marks, such as tattoos or inscriptions, or metaphorical marks, representing one's allegiance or identity. In the biblical context, the forehead is sometimes mentioned in relation to priestly garments or divine protection, as seen in the high priest's turban with the inscription "Holy to the LORD" (Exodus 28:36-38).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/4696.htm">metsach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>greaves<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>greaves (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מִצְחָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>greave(s)</b></font>; — only singular construct <font class="hebrew2">וּמִצְחַת נְחשֶׁת עַלדַֿגְלָיו</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/17-6.htm">1 Samuel 17:6</a> <em>and greaves of bronze upon his legs</em>; < <font class="hebrew2">מִצְחֹת</font> Vrss Th We Klo Dr Bu. <p>[<font class="hebrew2">מְצִלָּה</font>], <font class="hebrew2">מְצִלִתָּיִם</font> see I. <font class="hebrew2">צלל</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">מְצֻלָה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">צול</font>. <font class="hebrew2">מִצְנֶ֫פֶת</font> see <font class="hebrew2">צנף</font>. p. 846f, 857<p>[<font class="hebrew2">מַצָּע</font>] see <font class="hebrew2">יצע</font>.
