The Sciences and the Nose in Bible and Quran

Before dealing with the topic of the “Nose” in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise.

The Nose is mentioned 19 times in the Bible and only once in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the Nose 19 times more than the Quran

In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and 19 times (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the Nose.

The Nose in the Bible:

The Lord will put his hook in your nose and his bit in your mouth

I wonder, does the Lord have a hook and a bit?

2 Kings 19:28

Because you rage against me and your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will make you return by the way you came.’

Isaiah 37:29

Because you rage against me and because your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will make you return by the way you came.

The rights of the blemish and handicapped!

The rights of the blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose: Do not approach

Leviticus 21:18

For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

The king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose.

It is Biblical method to catch and arrest people.

It is by putting a hook in the arrested one.

2 Chronicles 33:11

So the LORD brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.

Can anyone capture him and pierce his nose?

It seems likely that the Bible considers it as an impossible thing!

Job 40:24

Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?

Can you put a cord through his nose?

Job 41:2

Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook.

This may occurs in the course of many diseases of the nose

For as churning the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus.

thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

Song of Solomon 7:8

I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose

Isaiah 65:5

Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Look at them putting the branch to their nose!

Ezekiel 8:17

He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose!

The outcome of the jealous anger of the Lord!

They will cut off your noses and your ears. They will take away your sons and daughters, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword and consumed by fire.

Ezekiel 23:25

I will direct my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and daughters, and those of you who are left will be consumed by fire.

Stop the noses of the passengers

Ezekiel 39:11

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

The Nose ring

The Bible talks about Nose ring in five verses.

Genesis 24:22

When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels.

Genesis 24:30

As soon as he had seen the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s arms, and had heard Rebekah tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring.

Genesis 24:47

“I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ “She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ “Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms,

Isaiah 3:21

the signet rings and nose rings,

Ezekiel 16:12

And I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

The Nose in the Quran:

Allah has written in Torah that a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds equal retaliation, but whosoever forgoes it as a freewill offering, it will be expiation for him. Whoever does not judge according to what Allah has sent down are the wrong-doers.

The Bible does not talk about whosoever forgoes the Law a freewill offering and its reward in the afterlife!

Surah 5:45

QARIB: we have written for them a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds equal retaliation, but whosoever forgoes it as a freewill offering, it will be an expiation for him. whoever does not judge according to what allah has sent down are the harmdoers.

SHAKIR: and we prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoes it, it shall be an expiation for him; and whoever did not judge by what allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust

PICKTHAL: and we prescribed for them therein: the life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. but whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. whoso judgeth not by that which allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.

YUSUFALI: we ordained therein for them: “life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.” but if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. and if any fail to judge by (the light of) what allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) wrong-doers.

It should be emphasized that the Torah’s law that is mentioned in four verses never says “Nose for Nose”.

The law says: Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, wound for wound BUT never says Nose for Nose.

However, in the Quran Allah has written in Torah that a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose etc.

Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 65); this is my question to you smart readers: “Is the Quran quoted from the Bible “? And which book contradicts with sciences?

Who Invented the Toothbrush?

For many of us, brushing the teeth is an indispensable routine that helps prevent cavities and tooth decay. But did you ever wonder when this important oral regimen started? Who invented the first toothbrush?

The Babylonians are credited as the first to use what appears to be the forerunner of the modern toothbrush. In those times, there weren’t many designs to choose from but they managed to get by with a chewing stick as early as 3500 B.C.

The chewing stick started out as a toothpick which was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. No bigger than a pencil, the chewing stick was literally chewed on one end until it became a crude brush while the other end was pointed. Part toothbrush and part toothpick, this device was used by the Chinese in 1600 B.C. to clean teeth. The sticks or twigs used came from aromatic trees that helped keep the breath fresh.

“Many peoples used different forms of toothbrushes. Indian medicine (Ayurveda) has used the neem tree and its products to create toothbrushes and similar products for millennia. A person chews one end of the neem twig until it somewhat resembles the bristles of a toothbrush, and then uses it to brush the teeth. In the Muslim world, the miswak or siwak made from a twig or root with antiseptic properties has been widely used since the Islamic Golden Age. Rubbing baking soda or chalk against the teeth was also common,” said the editors of Wikipedia.

“The first bristled toothbrush originates from China and was brought back to Europe by traders. It was made from hairs from the neck of the Siberian wild boar, which were fixed to a bamboo or bone handle. In Europe, where very few people brushed their teeth, it was found that wild boar hairs were too stiff and made the gums bleed, so horse hair, which was softer, was used instead. It was still more customary in Europe to use a toothpick after meals, made of a goose feather, silver or copper,” added the BBC.

Although the Chinese are credited with inventing the modern toothbrush in the late 1400s, it was William Addis of England who popularized them in 1780. At that time, he was in jail for causing a riot and the usual way of cleaning teeth then was by rubbing a rag on the teeth with soot and salt. Addis felt this was not enough so he took a small animal bone, drilled holes in it and glued animal bristles in them.

For this, he became a wealthy man and his invention was mass produced by his descendants in the 19th century. These were made of cattle bones and the bristles came from either wild boar or horse hair.

In 1937, Wallace H. Carothers of the Du Pont Laboratories in the United States invented nylon, putting an end to the misery presumably experienced by the Siberian wild boar and the common horse. This was welcome news for many since boar hair retained bacteria, didn’t dry well and often fell out of the brush.

In contrast, nylon was tough, resilient, dried easily and didn’t harbor bacteria. From 1938 onwards, toothbrush bristles were made of nylon and was first used by Dr. West’s Miracle Tuft Toothbrush.

The early nylon toothbrushes, however, were stiff and damaged the gums that dentists didn’t recommend them. By the 1950s, Du Pont introduced the Park Avenue Toothbrush – an expensive brand that used soft nylon.

But the concept of brushing teeth became widespread in the United States only during World War II when American troops were forced to do so as part of their daily routine. They brought home this practice to their families when the war ended.

“In 1939 the first electric toothbrush was produced in Switzerland, but didn’t appear on the open market until the 1960s. It appeared on the American market, produced by Squibb and was called Broxodent. The first cordless rechargeable electric toothbrush was introduced by General Electric at the same time. However, it wasn’t until 1987 that the rotary action electrical toothbrush appeared in the shops,’ revealed the BBC.
