'Trough' in the Bible
And he began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence [around it], and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough—because there was no room for them at the lodging place.
This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in cloth and lying in a feeding trough.”
They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough.
But the Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you untie his ox or donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it to water?
