'Trough' in the Bible

and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no place for them in the guest quarters.

And this will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough."

So they went quickly and found Mary and Joseph with the baby, who was lying in the feeding trough.
