Strong's Lexicon mishkab: Bed, couch, place of lying down Original Word: מִשְׁכַּב Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַב (shakav), meaning "to lie down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "mishkab" is κλίνη (klinē), which also means bed or couch. Usage: The Hebrew word "mishkab" primarily refers to a place of lying down, such as a bed or couch. It is used in various contexts, including literal references to a physical bed and metaphorical or euphemistic references to sexual relations. The term can denote both a place of rest and intimacy, depending on the context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the bed was not only a place for rest but also a symbol of one's household and personal space. Beds were often simple mats or platforms, and the concept of a "bed" extended to include the idea of a resting place in a broader sense. The term "mishkab" is also used in legal and moral contexts, particularly in the Torah, to address issues of sexual conduct and purity.
