A place of lying down; can refer to a physical bed, couch, or sleeping place, but also to a spot where an animal or person may rest or recline. In various contexts, mishkab is used literally for furniture intended for rest, sleeping, or reclining, and figuratively for sexual activity, particularly as an idiomatic reference to sexual intercourse ('lying with'). It may also denote a place of burial (i.e., a grave, particularly in poetic or euphemistic usage).

your lying-place
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁכַּב derives from the root שׁכב meaning "to lie down" and denotes a place characterized by lying or resting. The construct form with a 2nd masculine singular suffix yields "your lying-place," preserving both the locative sense and the possessive morphology. |
