Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Aramaic origin, akin to the Hebrew root אֵת (eth), which means "to consume" or "to eat."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2575: κάμινος (kaminos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to a furnace or oven. It appears in passages such as Matthew 13:42, where it describes the fiery furnace in the parable of the weeds, symbolizing the place of judgment and separation at the end of the age. The concept of a furnace as a place of intense heat and purification is consistent across both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, emphasizing themes of judgment, testing, and divine intervention.

Usage: The term אַתוּן is used in the context of a furnace, particularly in the book of Daniel, where it describes the fiery furnace into which Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown.

Context: • The Aramaic word אַתוּן appears in the Old Testament primarily in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe a large furnace used for execution by burning, as seen in the narrative of Daniel 3. In this account, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon commands that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be thrown into a blazing furnace for refusing to worship a golden image he had set up. The furnace is described as exceedingly hot, to the point that it killed the soldiers who threw the three men into it. However, through divine intervention, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are unharmed, and a fourth figure, described as resembling "a son of the gods," is seen walking with them in the furnace (Daniel 3:25, BSB). This miraculous event leads to King Nebuchadnezzar praising the God of Israel.
• The use of אַתוּן in this context highlights the theme of divine protection and deliverance. It serves as a powerful testament to the faithfulness of God in preserving His people amidst persecution and trials. The narrative underscores the sovereignty of God over earthly powers and His ability to save those who trust in Him.
