Range
Range is the rendering of two Heb. words of marked import, besides one or two in an ordinary sense.
1. כַּיר, kir (only in the dual, כַּירִיַם, kira'yim, Le 11:35, "ranges for pots"), apparently a cooking-furnace, perhaps of pottery (as it could be broken), and double (as having places for two pots or more, or, perhaps, consisting of two stoves set together). SEE OVEN; SEE POT.
2. שׂדֵרָה, sederah', a rank, or row, of soldiers, drawn up in cordon ("range," 2Ki 11:8,15; 2Ch 23:14); also timbers or chambers in the stories of a building ("board," 1Ki 6:9). SEE ATHALIAH, TEMPLE.
