Exegesis
The adverb az {אָז | ʾāz} marks a shift to the result, where the Piel chillalta {חִלַּלְתָּ | ḥillalta} “you defiled” takes yetsu‘i {יְצוּעִי | yəṣûʿî} “my couch” as object.
Root and etymology
y-ṣ-ʿyod–tsade–ayin
“couch, resting place”
In context — Genesis 49:4
Reckless like water, you will not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it—my couch you went up to.
