e.re.s denotes a bed or couch, whether a measured object, a furnished resting place, or a place of reclining.

The attested usage refers to a physical bed or couch: an iron object measured for length and width, beds associated with reclining, and personal resting places furnished with coverings or described as green. The same noun also occurs in clauses of comfort and household restraint, though the APB does not always make its individual contribution explicit.

In Deuteronomy 3:11 the APB renders an iron bed whose length and width are measured; in Job 7:13 it renders a bed expected to bring comfort, and in Proverbs 7:16 a bed spread with coverings. Amos 6:4 places the plural form in a clause about lying down and stretching out, while Song of Songs 1:16 describes a shared couch as green.
