2. shrine (pagan or handmade) — A small shrine or model temple, specifically the silver shrines of Artemis made by Demetrius the silversmith (Acts 19:24). Distinguished from the primary sense by its pagan, commercial, and diminutive connotation: eng 'shrines,' spa 'templos,' hin 'mandir,' arb 'hayakila,' kor 'seongjeondeul,' swa 'mahekalu.' While some translations use the same word as the temple sense, the referent is fundamentally different -- manufactured idol-worship objects rather than the dwelling of the true God. 1×
