me.tsach denotes the forehead, both as a bodily location and as an image for hardness or shameless refusal.

The term most often identifies the bodily location where an object is placed, a wound or condition appears, or a mark is set. It also occurs in descriptions of a hard, bronze-like, or shameless forehead, where the surrounding clauses portray obstinacy, resistance, or refusal of humiliation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB consistently uses "forehead" or "foreheads" for the bodily location and retains that wording in figurative descriptions such as "hard forehead" and "forehead is bronze." These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than supplying separate lexical senses.
