The meaning of Temples in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
tem'-p'lz (raqqah, "thinness," "upper cheeks"): The original signifies the thinnest part of the skull (Judges 4:21-22; Judges 5:26). In Song of Solomon 4:3; Song of Solomon 6:7, the bride's cheeks are likened to pomegranates because of the rich coloring of a slice of this fruit.
