attun אתון attun

A FURNACE, kiln. Biblical Aramaic; occurs 10 times, all in Daniel 3, in the fixed phrase attun nura yaqidta, 'furnace of fire, burning' — the KJV/ASV 'burning fiery furnace' actually reproduces the Aramaic's own piling-up of words more closely than most modern trimmed renderings do. → first discussed at Dan 3:6
