my lying-place
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct with 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁכָּב denotes a place or act of lying down, derived from the root שכב. The 1st person singular pronominal suffix requires the rendering "my," and the construct form with suffix yields "my lying-place," preserving both root sense and morphology. |
