Usage: The Hebrew word "tannur" refers to an oven or furnace, a common household and industrial appliance in ancient times. It is used in the Bible to describe a device for baking bread or for smelting metals. The term is often associated with heat and fire, symbolizing judgment or purification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the tannur was an essential part of daily life. It was typically a large, earthenware or brick structure used for baking bread, a staple food. The design of these ovens allowed for efficient heat retention, making them suitable for both domestic and communal use. In metallurgy, furnaces were used to refine metals, a process often metaphorically linked to spiritual refinement in biblical literature.
