The setting
Tyre region home, Lebanon, ~29 AD. A mother returns home expecting to find her daughter still tormented...

The original word
klinē (κλίνῃ) — bed or couch, showing the child was now resting peacefully
Why it matters

Read with care
What most readers miss in Mark 7:30
The child was 'laid' on the bed — actively placed there, not collapsed from exhaustion
