cooking stove, dual form; portable hearth supporting two pots
This dual noun appears in Leviticus 11:35 within purity laws governing unclean objects. The text declares that 'oven or stove shall be broken down,' classifying these cooking implements as becoming irredeemably unclean if contaminated by certain carcasses. The dual form 'kirayim' suggests a two-pot stove, perhaps with two fire compartments or supporting two vessels simultaneously. Mishnaic Hebrew confirms this usage. The law's harshness—mandatory destruction rather than cleansing—reflects concerns about porous cooking surfaces absorbing impurity.

1. sense 1 — Leviticus 11:35 pairs this dual noun with 'oven' (tanur) as cooking equipment requiring destruction when defiled. The dual form likely indicates a stove supporting two pots, possibly with dual fire compartments. Greek 'chytropodes' (pot-supports) confirms structural understanding. Multilingual glosses: English/French/German 'stove,' Spanish 'fogón' (cooking hearth). The conjunction 'and' links it with 'oven' in the purity regulation. Mishnaic evidence supports a portable clay cooking installation. The requirement to break it down shows it couldn't be adequately purified. 1×
