The meaning of Oven in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Heb. tannur, (Hosea 7:4). In towns there appear to have been public ovens. There was a street in Jerusalem (Jeremiah 37:21) called "bakers' street" (the only case in which the name of a street in Jerusalem is preserved). The words "tower of the furnaces" (Nehemiah 3:11; 12:38) is more properly "tower of the ovens" (Heb. tannurim). These resemble the ovens in use among ourselves.
