Rashi, on Ezek 16:12

Rashi · 1040–1105
Ezek 16:12 · Douay-Rheims
“And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.”
On this verse:
“And I put a nose ring on your nose [Jonathan renders:] And I placed the ark of My covenant among you. and earrings on your ears Heb. וַעֲגִילִים, a word for an earring. [Jonathan interprets:] And the cloud of My glory covering over you. [The clouds of glory are called וַעֲגִילִים] because they surrounded them in a circle (עִגּוּל). and a crown of glory on your head [Jonathan renders:] And an angel was sent from before Me leading at your head, as it is said (Micah 2:13): “and their king passed before them, and the Lord was at their head.””
