Difference between revisions of "Oven"

<div> '''1: '''''Κλίβανος''''' ''' (Strong'S #2823 — Noun Masculine — klibanos — klib'-an-os ) </div> <p> is mentioned in &nbsp;Matthew 6:30; &nbsp;Luke 12:28 . The form of "oven" commonly in use in the east indicates the kind in use as mentioned in Scripture. A hole is sunk in the ground about 3 feet deep and somewhat less in diameter. The walls are plastered with cement. A fire is kindled inside, the fuel being grass, or dry twigs, which heat the oven rapidly and blacken it with smoke and soot (see &nbsp;Lamentations 5:10 ). When sufficiently heated the surface is wiped, and the dough is molded into broad thin loaves, placed one at a time on the wall of the "oven" to fit its concave inner circle. The baking takes a few seconds. Such ovens are usually outside the house, and often the same "oven" serves for several families (&nbsp;Leviticus 26:26 ). An "oven" of this sort is doubtless referred to in &nbsp;Exodus 8:3 (see Hastings, Bib. Dic.). </p>
