These were mostly divans, low raised seats round the room. They served for reclining on in the day and for sleeping on at night, which accounts for their being often called 'beds.' Some, with light frames, were movable, on which a corpse could be carried for burial. Job 7:13; Amos 6:4; Luke 5:19,24 .
