Inn; was originally only a plot of ground, near a spring or well, and sometimes secured by a wall or fence, allotted as a camping-ground for the use of travellers. This was the “Inn” of the O.T. (Gen. 42:27; 43:21²⁷And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. (Genesis 42:27)

(Genesis 43:21), etc., R.V. lodging place). In later times, some wealthy benefactor would raise the wall, build a few arches, unite them to the wall by a roof, close them with doors, and separate them by partitions, thus providing a separate room for each party; while the cattle were littered in the central open space, or in sheds abutting on the outside wall, or in natural caves around it. This is the modern Khan or caravansary, and such, it is thought, was “the inn” at Bethlehem (Luke 2:7⁷And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7)); though the word translated “inn” may simply mean “guestchamber” and is so rendered in Mark 14:14¹⁴And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

(Job 21:33); Psa. 40:12¹²For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

(Isaiah 53:12).

of the HOLY SPIRIT. Rom. 8:26²⁶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26).
