Strong's Lexicon Kor Ashan: Furnace of Smoke Original Word: כּוֹר עָשָׁן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root כּוּר (kur), meaning "furnace" or "smelting pot," and אָשָׁן (ashan), meaning "smoke." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar imagery is κλίβανος (klibanos), meaning "furnace" or "oven," which appears in passages like Matthew 13:42, where it describes the fiery furnace of judgment. Usage: The term "Kor Ashan" is used to describe a furnace that produces smoke, often symbolizing judgment, purification, or the presence of God. In the biblical context, it can represent the refining process or the manifestation of divine power and holiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, furnaces were used for smelting metals, a process that involved intense heat and smoke. This imagery was familiar to the Israelites and often used metaphorically in Scripture to convey themes of purification, testing, and divine presence. The concept of smoke rising from a furnace also evokes the imagery of sacrifices and offerings, where smoke ascends to God as a pleasing aroma.
