Furnace:
Various kinds of furnaces are noticed in the Bible, such as a smelting or calcining furnace (Genesis 19:28; Exodus 9:8; 9:10; 19:18) especially a lime‐kiln (Isaiah 33:12; Amos 2:1); a refining furnace (Proverbs 17:3); Nebuchadnezzar's furnace, a large furnace built like a brick‐kiln (Daniel 3:22-23) with two openings one at the top for putting in the materials, and another below for removing them; the potter's furnace (Ecclesiasticus 27:5); the blacksmith's furnace (Ecclesiasticus 38:28). The Persians were in the habit of using the furnace as a means of inflicting punishment (Daniel 3:22-23; Jeremiah 29:22).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
