I read in a few places Catholic and Christian that the Levite priests wrapped unblemished lambs in swaddling clothing and placed them in (stone) mangers to protect them.
I don’t think this is in the Bible and so it is either not true or a Jewish tradition oral or written.
The sheep were sacrificed for atonement of sins So it looks like a prefigurement of Jesus and his swaddling clothes in the manger, but since jews no longer sacrifice sheep In the temple it would be a bit of surprise if it is an oral tradition.
Does any one know of any good sources in investigating this.
Thank you
