Manger:
This word occurs only in Luke 2:7; 2:12; 2:16 in connection with the birth of Christ. It means a crib or feeding trough; but according to Schleusner its real signification in the New Testament is the open court‐yard attached to the inn or khan, in which the cattle would be shut at night, and where the poorer travelers might unpack their animals and take up their lodging, when they mere either by want of means excluded from the house.
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.
