...culture? adultery and church are possible examples. There are maybe more which have a very clear meaning which in the surrounding culture means one thing in the literal sense and in the Bible means another thing also in the literal sense.
 
Good question, but impossible to answer with 100% accuracy.

The Bible was written in Greek and other ancient languages. Whenever any language gets translated to another, concepts like "literal meaning" are up for grabs. No 2 languages line up concept for concept or even phoneme for phoneme.
