I read today that the bible describes God as "long-nosed".

Can you find where this is, and what it means?
 
The Hebrew language is a word picture language. When the Bible says God is "longsuffering" (Ex 34:6; Numb 14:18; Ps 86:15, etc.) it reads "God is long of nose." When he is angry, his nose becomes red and burns. It may be questioned whether in the living language the idioms had not already dropped their etymological associations and did not merely mean to be longsuffering and to be angry. When he is compassionate his nose becomes long, so long in fact that it would take forever to burn completely."
