We ask the following database query: Does the Bible ever describe the making of beds to sleep? The reader is encouraged to perform the query using a standard Biblical Konnkordance or search engine. This database query yields the list below. The list justifies the following Rashi inference: There are about 5 dozen references to sleeping in the Bible. Only in Gn28-11 do we find the strange detail: He made a bed and slept only in that place. The excessive detail coupled with the emphasis slept only in that place contrastively suggests that prior Jacob had slept haphazardly without made beds. This nostagically conjurs images of a Temple or Student life with haphazard sleeping patterns. The list below presents the results of the database query and provides examples.

Verse	Text of Verse	Is making a bed mentiond?
Gn28-11e	And he lighted upon a certain place, and remained there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.	Yes
Gn41-05	and he slept and dreamt a second time and ....	No
Ju16-03	Samson slept until midnight and he arose at midnight and grabbed the city pillars...	No
2S11-09	But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.	No
Ru03-14	And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before one could recognize another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the threshing floor.	No

Advanced Rashi: If we combine the database query with the meaning rule that this connotes emphasis - only this - we would translate the verse as follows: ....he bumped into a place...took stones and placed by his head....and only in this place did he [thus] sleep. In other words it was only in this profane place that Jacob attended to making the bed and sleeping. This contrastively suggests that prior Jacob had led a Temple or Study life with haphazard sleeping habits.
