People's Commentary (NT)
Luke 2:7
Her firstborn son. This implies that Mary was subsequently the
mother of other children.
Swaddling clothes. A long, narrow cloth in which new-born children
were closely wrapped.
In a manger. In the feeding trough of beasts of burden, probably
attached to the inn, where there was no room for them among the crowds
of strangers then in the city. When the Lord stooped from Divine glory
to take upon him humanity, he stooped to its most lowly estate. An
Oriental inn is thus described:
``The "khan" is usually much on the model of the Eastern house,
but of much larger extent. Four rows of apartments are so
constructed as to enclose a large yard with a well in the
center where the cattle may be kept. The outer wall is
usually of brick upon a stone basement. The apartments are
entered by the guests from travelers' apartments was often
the row or the long room of stables, into which the floors of
the apartments being a little extended, formed a platform
upon which the camels could eat.'
