So the Vulgate has, {applicant ramum ad nares suas,} "they
apply the branch to their nose;" which Jerome explains by "a
branch of the palm tree with which they adored the idols;" and
it seems plainly to allude to the Magian fire-worshippers,
who, Strabo tells us, held a little bunch of twigs in their
hand, when praying before the fire.
