Strong's Lexicon eres: Bed, couch Original Word: עֶרֶשׂ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be firm or to bind Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2825 (κλίνη, klinē) - bed, couch - G4734 (στρῶμα, strōma) - bed, mattress Usage: The Hebrew word "eres" primarily refers to a bed or couch, often used in the context of rest or sleep. It can denote a place of comfort or repose, and in some instances, it is used metaphorically to describe a place of illness or death. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, a bed was not only a place for sleeping but also a symbol of one's status and comfort. Beds were often simple, consisting of mats or cushions laid on the floor, but wealthier individuals might have more elaborate furnishings. The concept of a bed as a place of rest is deeply embedded in the cultural understanding of peace and security, as well as vulnerability during sleep.
