Job 39:9 the buffalo serve you, or remain in your p?
Luk 2:7 laid him down on a p, because there was no room
Manger (Gr. fatn’). Trough or drawer that contains fodder for animals. Nativity scenes are mentioned in ancient non-biblical literature, and some made of stone have been found in ancient stables from the time of Solomon or Ahab, at Megiddo (figs 95, 410). A manger in the stable at Bethlehem, in which Joseph and Mary stayed, was the first bed for the infant Jesus (Luk 2:7, 12, 16). The same word is used in the BJ in Luk 13:15 (it is omitted in the KJV). In the Hebrew OT the words ‘êbûs and ‘urwâh are used, which can mean both the manger itself and the entire stable or stable. See Livestock. 410. A manger from one of the Israelite stables at Megiddo. Plague. See Pestilence.

(Gr., phatne, a stable). The LXX uses the word gr. phatne as a translation of the Hebrew given in 2Ch 32:28 as stables and in Job 39:9 as a manger (in Pro 14:4 it appears as a barn; but in Isa 1:3 it is a manger again). Luke also uses phatne for the place where Jesus was born. What is more likely is that the stables were located around the courtyard of an inn with the balcony and guest rooms on the floor above.

vet, (Gr. “Phatnê”, Lk. 2:7, 12; 13:15; Is. 1:3). Mangers already appear in the Iliad (10:568; 24:280; Herodotus 9:70). In Palestine the stable is ordinarily in the owner’s house; a part of the interior is provided with mangers in the form of boxes, made of stones joined with cement. This term is of interest because of its relation to the birth of the Lord Jesus (Lk. 2:7-16). Doubts have been expressed as to whether it strictly means the trough, or whether it refers more broadly to the place where the cattle were kept. With this the Vulgate agrees, “praesepe”, as well as the Peshito-Syriac version. The term “phatnê” appears in the LXX at 2 Chron. 32:28; Jb. 6:5; 39:9; Prov 14:4; Isaiah 1:3; Joel 1:17; Hab. 3:17.

Trough for the cattle, and even the stable itself, where the cattle are kept (Lk 13, 15). The Child Jesus, at birth, was laid in a manger (Lk 2, 7. 12. 16). We can assume that half of this manger was carved into the rock and the other half was factory. -> childhood; Belen.

When Jesus was born, they put him in a manger, where the shepherds who received the angelic announcement of his birth saw him. (Lu 2:7, 12, 16) The Greek word here translated “manger” is fat·ne, meaning “trough” (compare Lu 13:15), and it can also apply to a stable or a barn. The Hebrew term ´e·vús usually means “manger”, and in the Greek Septuagint it was translated with the word fat·ne, as well as three other Hebrew terms that have been rendered “mangers” in Spanish (2Ch 32:28), “fenced” (Hab 3:17) and “fodder” (Job 6:5).
Archaeologists have found in Palestine large blocks of limestone hollowed out in the shape of a pylon about 90 cm. long, 50 cm. wide and 60 cm. deep, and according to what is believed served as mangers. It is also possible that, as in more recent times, the mangers were carved into the same rock walls of the caves that were used to shelter the animals.

fatne (favtnh, 5336), trough (Luk 2:7, 12, 16), also denotes a stable (13.15).¶ Likewise in the LXX, where this word does not merely denote the trough or manger but, by metonymy, the compartment in the stable containing the manger or trough (Pro 14:4).

Trough for animals in a stable or stable, thus translated in Job 39.9 and Is. 1.3 in °vrv2 and “barn” in Pr. 14.4. the gr. fatne has an expanded meaning of “stable” (Lk. 13.15), and is used in the LXX to translate various Hebrew words: urwa‘stable’ (2 Chr. 32.28), reference‘corral’ (Hab. 3.17), ˒ēḇûs (Job 39.9; Pr. 14.4; Is. 23). In the NT it appears in Lk. 2.7, 12, 16; 13.15.
Cribs are known in other lands besides Palestine. In Palestine the stable or stable was linked to the owner’s house and had a manger. The stables at *Megiddo, now dated to the Omri dynasty, had troughs made of hollowed-out limestone blocks. Christian tradition holds that Jesus was born in a cave near Bethlehem. In that case the manger may have been a hole in the rocky walls of it.

Basilica Santa María la Mayor San Francisco de Asís, by Claudio Coello Santo Bambino (Greek: phatne; Latin: prasepe, praesepium)
The cradle or manger in which the Child Savior was laid after his birth properly corresponds to that part of the stable or khan (Turkish-style inn) where the food for the domestic beasts is placed, perhaps made of the same material with which the manger itself is built. A very old tradition affirms that an ox and a donkey were in the stable at the time of Christ’s birth. Tradition alludes to Isaiah (1, 3): “The ox knows its owner, and the donkey the manger of its owner.” And perhaps it is also based on the words of the prophet Habakkuk (3, 2) which, in the LXX version, reads as follows: “Between two animals you will be known”, instead of “in the midst of animals”. years,” etc., as St. Jerome correctly translated from the Hebrew. Be that as it may, in this article we will talk about the manger in three sections: (I) The Basilica and the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem, (II) the relics of the crib preserved in Santa Maria Maggiore, in Rome, and (III) ) devotion to the cradle.
Belen
Bethlehem is situated on two hills, 2,361 meters above sea level. The western hill is the Bethlehem of Scripture; on the east is the Basilica of the Nativity that was built on the grotto. We can imagine that Mary and Saint Joseph, having “no room for them in the inn,” left the village and found themselves in a cave or stable on the eastern hill, which served as a shelter for the shepherds and their flocks against the inclement weather. climate. We will not refer here to the controversies about the historicity of Saint Luke’s account of the birth of the Savior, or the true place of the grotto of the Nativity. Suffice it to say that there seems to be no reason to abandon the very old and uninterrupted tradition that testifies to the authenticity of the site where the manger is venerated today. Saint Justin, who died a martyr in 165, says that “Having unsuccessfully sought shelter in the town, Joseph sought refuge in a cave near Bethlehem” (Dial. c. Tryph., 70). Nearly half a century later, Origen writes: “If anyone wishes to satisfy his curiosity without resorting to Micah’s prophecy or to the story of Christ, as written by his disciples, that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, let him know that, according to the Gospel, in Bethlehem is the grotto where He saw the light for the first time” (C. Cels. I, 51). At first, Saint Helena built a chapel in the grotto, and adorned it with costly marbles and other valuable decorations. The first basilica erected over the crypt is probably due to the devotion and munificence of her son, Constantine, of whom St. Eusebius says that “The Emperor himself, still eclipsing the magnificence of his mother’s design, adorned the same site in a style truly real” (Vita Const., III, 43). Both the grotto itself and the basilica have undergone numerous modifications and restorations, reclaimed over the centuries by the ravages of wars and invasions. Today, little remains of the splendid mosaics and paintings described in detail by Cueresimo and other writers. Access to the crypt of the Nativity from the upper temple is through a double staircase that descends from the north side of the choir of the basilica towards the grotto, in the lower part, and which converges in the place where, according to tradition, , the Savior was born. The exact point is indicated by a star carved in stone, around which are written these words: HIC DE VIRGINE MARIA JESUS CHRISTUS NATUS EST. A short distance to the southwest is the manger where Christ was laid to rest and where, tradition attests, He was adored by the wise men. In 1873 the manger was vandalized by the Greeks and everything of value, including two paintings, by Murillo and Maello respectively, was stolen. So far, the stolen works have not been returned.
Saint Mary Major
The relics of the cradle preserved in Santa Maria Maggiore, in Rome, were brought there from the Holy Land during the pontificate of Pope Theodore (640-649), who was a native of Palestine and who was therefore aware of the dangers of vandalism and theft to which the relics were exposed at the hands of Muslims and other outlaws. We know that the basilica erected by Liberius on the Esquiline was first given the name of Sancta Maria ad Praesepe, under Pope Theodore. It was during the pontificate of Adrian I that the first altar was built in the basilica, and over the years the place where the relics are kept became the object of visits by devout faithful from all over the world. At present, the remains of the crib that are preserved in Santa María la Mayor consist of…
