Connection with the smoke over Sodom
The furnace here is kibshan, a kiln, the word for the furnace smoke Abraham saw over Sodom (Genesis 19:28). The Old Testament uses it four times, all in the story Israel told about itself: twice in Egypt for the plague of boils, over Sodom, and at Sinai when the LORD descended in fire (Exodus 19:18).
