'Lay' in the Bible
He drank some of the wine, got drunk, and lay down naked right in the middle of his tent.
So they had their father drink wine that night, and the older one had sexual relations with her father, but he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
So they made their father drink wine that night as well, so he was not aware when she lay down or when she got up.
"Don't lay your hand on the youth!" he said. "Don't do anything to him, because I've just demonstrated that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only unique one, from me."
Reuben told them. "And no blood shedding, either. Instead, let's toss him into this cistern that's way out here in the wilderness. But don't lay a hand on him." (Reuben intended to free Joseph and return him to his father.)
