Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 5336: φάτνη φάτνη, φάτνης, ἡ ((πατέομαι to eat; Vanicek, p. 445)), a crib, manger: Luke 2:7, 12, 16; Luke 13:15. (From Homer down; the Sept. for אֵבוּס, Job 39:9; Proverbs 14:4; Isaiah 1:3; plural for רְפָתִים, Habakkuk 3:17.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb "φαίνω" (phainō), meaning "to appear" or "to shine," though the connection is more etymological than directly related to the meaning of "manger." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for φάτνη, the concept of a manger or feeding trough can be related to Hebrew terms used for stalls or enclosures for animals, such as "אֻרְוָה" (urvah) or "אֵבוּס" (ebus), which refer to places where animals are fed or housed. These terms capture the essence of a place associated with animals, similar to the Greek φάτνη. Usage: The term φάτνη is used in the New Testament to describe the place where Jesus was laid after His birth. It is a humble setting, emphasizing the modest circumstances of His arrival into the world. Context: The Greek word φάτνη appears in the New Testament in the context of the nativity story, specifically in the Gospel of Luke. It is used to describe the manger where Mary placed the newborn Jesus. This setting is significant as it highlights the humility and simplicity of Christ's birth, contrasting with the expectations of a royal or grand entrance for the Messiah. The manger, a feeding trough for animals, symbolizes the accessibility of Jesus to all people, including the lowly and marginalized. The use of φάτνη in the nativity narrative underscores the theme of God's incarnation in humble circumstances, fulfilling prophecies and setting the stage for Jesus' ministry, which often focused on the poor and downtrodden. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Luke 2:7, 12, and 16: • Luke 2:7: "And she gave birth to her firstborn Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." • Luke 2:12: "And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." • Luke 2:16: "So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the baby, who was lying in the manger." The imagery of the manger is deeply embedded in Christian tradition, often depicted in nativity scenes and Christmas carols, serving as a reminder of the humble beginnings of the Savior.
