An oven, furnace, or heated enclosure used for processing bricks by burning, firing, or drying. Some Bible students believe that sun-dried bricks were used in Palestine; they would translate the word as “brick-mold” (see Nahum 3:14 NRSV, NAS, TEV). Others give the neutral translation “brickwork” (NIV, REB). Just as the Egyptians used the Israelites to make bricks, so David put the Ammonites to making bricks ( 2 Samuel 12:31 ).
