Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2825 (κλίνη, klinē), which also refers to a bed or couch. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe similar concepts of rest and healing, as seen in passages where Jesus heals the sick and instructs them to take up their beds and walk, emphasizing restoration and divine intervention.

Usage: The term עֶרֶשׂ is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a couch or bed, often in contexts related to rest, sleep, or illness.

Context: The Hebrew word עֶרֶשׂ (eres) appears in several passages within the Old Testament, primarily conveying the idea of a place for lying down or resting. It is often associated with personal comfort and rest, as well as with the vulnerability of sleep or illness. The term is used in both literal and figurative contexts, illustrating the human need for rest and the intimate setting of one's personal space.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), עֶרֶשׂ is translated as "couch" or "bed." For example, in Psalm 41:3, the psalmist speaks of the LORD sustaining him on his sickbed, using עֶרֶשׂ to describe the place of recovery and divine care: "The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness."

The use of עֶרֶשׂ in the biblical text often highlights themes of divine providence and human frailty. It serves as a reminder of the need for rest and the care provided by God, even in times of weakness or distress.
