Usage: The word is used in the context of describing a part of the human body, particularly the temple, which is the flat area on the side of the head. Context: • The Hebrew word רַקָּה (raqqah) appears in the context of describing the human anatomy, specifically the temple area of the head. This term is used in the Bible to denote the thin, flat region on the side of the head, which is considered a vulnerable part of the body. The usage of "raqqah" in the scriptures highlights the delicate nature of this area, often associated with weakness or fragility. • In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in passages that describe physical characteristics or injuries, emphasizing the sensitivity and importance of protecting this part of the body. The temple is often seen as a symbol of vulnerability, and its mention in the scriptures serves to illustrate the need for care and protection. • The term is not frequently used in the Bible, but its presence underscores the attention to detail in the description of human anatomy and the understanding of the body's structure in ancient times.
