Brow:

brou: Is found in Isa 48:4, "thy brow brass" as the translation of metsch, meaning "to be clear," i.e. conspicuous. In Lu 4:29 "led him unto the brow of the hill" is the rendering of ophras, literally "the eyebrow," but used throughout Greek literature as any prominent point or projection of land (compare use of supercilium in Verg. Georg. i.108).

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g3790 Greek: ophrus

Brow:

"an eyebrow," stands for "the brow of a hill," Luk 4:29, from the resemblance to an eyebrow, i.e., a ridge with an overhanging bank.
