as the fire-oven
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כ ("as/like") + definite article + masculine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תַּנּוּר denotes a constructed chamber for controlled fire and intense heat, derived from the root נור "to burn/shine." The prefixed כ with the definite article yields "as the fire-oven," preserving the singular masculine form and definiteness. |
