Inn
From BibleWiki
in the modern sense, unknown in the East. The khans or caravanserais, which correspond to the European inn, are not alluded to in the Old Testament. The "inn" mentioned in Ex 4:24 was just the halting-place of the caravan. In later times khans were erected for the accommodation of travellers. In Lk 2:7 the word there so rendered denotes a place for loosing the beasts of their burdens. It is rendered "guest-chamber" in Mk 14:14 and Lk 22:11. In Lk 10:34 the word so rendered is different. That inn had an "inn-keeper," who attended to the wants of travellers.
