mishkab
his bed
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).
