Strong's Lexicon malon: Lodging place, inn Original Word: מָלוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root לון (lun), meaning "to lodge" or "to pass the night." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "malon" is πανδοχεῖον (pandocheion), which also means "inn" or "lodging place," as seen in the New Testament in the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:34). Usage: The term "malon" refers to a place where travelers would stop to rest for the night. It is often translated as "lodging place" or "inn" in English. In the context of the ancient Near East, these were typically simple accommodations, often open-air or rudimentary shelters, where travelers could find rest and safety during their journeys. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, travel was often arduous and dangerous due to the rough terrain and the threat of bandits. As such, "malon" served as essential waypoints for travelers. These lodging places were not like modern inns or hotels but were more akin to caravanserais or simple encampments where travelers could find basic shelter and sometimes water for themselves and their animals.
