The kind of reminds me of a literature reading assignment I had, we had to read the book of Ruth, and one instance had a mother tell her daughter to go to the man she loved and sleep at the foot of his bed.
Now is it saying she sleep on the floor? Probably not, Hebrew had that expression to mean sex so it most likely meant that in context. The Old Testament does imploy alot of coded language. Another one would be in the story in Saddam and Ghamorra where the two angels are being met with an angry mob and the statement "Hand them over to us so that we get to know them." Is coded for homosexual sex.
