In Matthew 13:42 and Matthew 13:50, the accusative singular form occurs in the clause about throwing people into “the furnace of fire.” In Revelation 1:15 the dative singular form appears in a comparison of burnished bronze “as in a furnace refined,” and Revelation 9:2 uses the genitive singular form for smoke “like smoke of a great furnace.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “furnace” in all four verses, describing a furnace of fire, refining in a furnace, and smoke from a great furnace. These renderings confirm the verse settings rather than establish a separate lexical nuance.
