Berean Strong's Lexicon yeza: Bed, Couch Original Word: יֵצַע Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַע (yatsa), which means "to spread out" or "to stretch." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is κλίνη (klinē), Strong's Greek #2825, which also means bed or couch. Usage: The Hebrew word "yeza" refers to a bed or couch, typically used for resting or sleeping. It can denote a physical piece of furniture or, metaphorically, a place of rest. In the biblical context, it often signifies a place of personal retreat or repose, reflecting the simplicity and modesty of ancient Near Eastern living conditions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, beds were not the elaborate structures we know today. They were often simple mats or rugs spread on the floor, which could be rolled up and stored during the day. The concept of a bed as a place of rest is deeply embedded in the culture, symbolizing not only physical rest but also spiritual and emotional peace. Beds were also places of intimacy and vulnerability, where one could be alone with their thoughts or with God.
