tem´p ' lz ( רקּה , raḳḳāh , "thinness," "upper cheeks"): The original signifies the thinnest part of the skull ( Judges 4:21 , Judges 4:22; 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.
