Oven
The eastern oven is of two kinds --fixed and portable. The former is found only in towns, where regular bakers are employed. (Ho 7:4) The latter ia adapted to the nomad state, it consists of a large jar made of clay, about three feet high and widening toward the bottom, with a hole for the extraction of the ashes. Each household possessed such an article, (Ex 8:3) and it was only in times of extreme dearth that the same oven sufficed for several families. (Le 26:26) It was heated with dry twigs and grass, (Mt 6:30) and the loaves were placed both inside and outside of it.
