BED
This thing shows up in Genesis 48:2: “Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 48:2
“Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.”
