your lying-place
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (מִקטָל pattern) with 2nd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁכָּב denotes a place or act of lying down, derived directly from the root שכב. The construct form with a 2nd feminine singular suffix yields "your lying-place," preserving both the root sense and the feminine singular possession. |
