This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Oven (κλίβανον)
Strictly, a covered earthen vessel, wider at bottom than at top, in which bread was baked by putting hot embers round it. The regular oven or furnace is ἰπνός. Herodotus, speaking of the papyrus-plant (byblus), the lower portion of which is used for food, says, “Such as wish to enjoy the by-blue in full perfection, bake it first in a closed vessel (ἐν κλιβάνῳ), heated to a glow” (ii., 92).
And seek not what ye, etc
Ye is emphatic: “and ye, seek not what,” etc.
