39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

Commentary

 

Nose

  

'A nose' signifies the life of good, because of the respiration which happens through it, which is life in the internal sense, and because of smell, which is the gratitude of love, which is good. 'Nose' or 'nostrils' signify perception.
