6350. 'He went up to my couch' means that it would contaminate spiritual good in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up to the couch' as contaminating by rendering profane, dealt with just above in 6348; and from the representation of Israel, whose couch it was to which he went up, as spiritual good in the natural, dealt with in 6340.
