Usage: The Greek word "kaminos" refers to a furnace or oven, typically used for baking or smelting. In biblical contexts, it often symbolizes a place of intense heat and purification, or a setting for divine judgment and testing.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, furnaces were essential for daily life, used for baking bread and smelting metals. They were constructed from clay or brick and fueled by wood or charcoal. The intense heat of a furnace made it a fitting metaphor for trials, purification, and judgment in biblical literature. The imagery of a furnace is often associated with God's refining process, where impurities are burned away to produce something pure and valuable.
