to a lying-place

Morphological Notes	Preposition לְ prefixed to a masculine singular noun (Ncmsa/Ncmsc). The noun is a mem-prefix formation indicating place or result of the verbal root שׁכב.
Rendering Rationale	The noun מִשְׁכָּב is a masculine singular formation from the root שׁכב (“to lie down”), denoting a place or instance of lying. The prefixed לְ (“to/for”) is preserved in the rendering "to a lying-place," which maintains both the spatial sense and the singular masculine form indicated by the morphology.
