Also: Side of face, Cheeks, Slap on the cheek

Beauty, attraction and love.

They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. The cheek is where insult is delivered publicly.

  • Good will
  • Liking
  • Pure intentions

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Evil intent
  • Ulterior motives
  • Hidden motivation
  • Public disgrace through a smitten cheek

How to tell the difference

Distinguish the cheek as BEAUTY (adorned, admired) from the cheek as the PLACE OF INSULT (struck, smitten). Turning the other cheek is a separate matter of response rather than of the symbol itself.
