Inn:
in the modern sense, unknown in the East. The khans or caravanserais, which correspond to the European inn, are not alluded to in the Old Testament. The "inn" mentioned in Exd 4:24 was just the halting-place of the caravan. In later times khans were erected for the accommodation of travellers. In Luk 2:7 the word there so rendered denotes a place for loosing the beasts of their burdens. It is rendered "guest-chamber" in Mark 14: 14 and Luk 22:11. In Luk 10:34 the word so rendered is different. That inn had an "inn-keeper," who attended to the wants of travellers.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
