his resting place
A place for lying down, specifically a resting place used by animals—particularly sheep, cattle, or wild creatures—or, less commonly, humans. It most often refers to a spot where livestock or wild animals rest, graze, or gather for repose; by extension, it may denote any enclosure or natural area set aside for resting. The lexical sense is physical and concrete, tied to locations of comfort or security for lying down, but can be extended poetically to connote a condition of rest or security.
