Strong's Lexicon maabus: Manger, feeding trough Original Word: מַאֲבוּס Word Origin: Derived from the root אָבַס (abas), meaning "to fatten" or "to feed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of a manger is φάτνη (phatnē), Strong's Greek #5336, which is used in the New Testament to describe the manger in which Jesus was laid (e.g., Luke 2:7). Usage: The term "ma'abus" refers to a manger or feeding trough, typically used for animals. In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with the humble setting of Jesus' birth, symbolizing simplicity and humility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a manger was a common fixture in stables or areas where livestock were kept. It was a simple structure, often made of wood or stone, used to hold food for animals. The manger's significance in the biblical narrative is heightened by its association with the nativity story, where Jesus was laid in a manger, highlighting the humble circumstances of His birth.
