In Psalms, the idols have noses that cannot smell, and in Job a nose-ring is a picture of taming a wild beast, which the tradition reads as showing that only God is truly alive and powerful. In the primary lessons: In science: the nose is the organ of smell; tiny hairs and mucus trap dust and germs; air is warmed in the nose. Dogs have much better noses than people. In hygiene: blow your nose into a tissue, throw it away and wash your hands; cover coughs and sneezes. In safety: don't put small things up your nose. Phrases: blow your nose, runny nose, nosebleed, pick your nose, under your nose, nosy, turn up your nose at. ### examples - And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
