Macduff
Macduff is using a common biblical metaphor comparing the body to a temple. Since kings were believed to be God’s chosen representative on earth, Duncan’s body is described as an anointed temple. Someone has broken into the temple of Duncan’s body and stolen its contents—that is, Duncan's life.
