Bed:
(Heb. mittah), for rest at night (Exd 8:3; 1Sa 19:13,15,16, etc.); during sickness (Gen 47:31; 48:2; 49:33, etc.); as a sofa for rest (1Sa 28:23; Amo 3:12). Another Hebrew word (er'es) so rendered denotes a canopied bed, or a bed with curtains (Deu 3:11; Psa 132:3), for sickness (Psa 6:6; 41:3).
In the New Testament it denotes sometimes a litter with a coverlet (Mat 9:2,6; Luk 5:18; Act 5:15).
The Jewish bedstead was frequently merely the divan or platform along the sides of the house, sometimes a very slight portable frame, sometimes only a mat or one or more quilts. The only material for bed-clothes is mentioned in 1Sa 19:13. Sleeping in the open air was not uncommon, the sleeper wrapping himself in his outer garment (Exd 22:26,27; Deu 24:12,13).
