Is God telling you that Egypt is literally an iron furnace, or do you suppose that's a metaphor?

Like, perhaps, the Lord having formed Adam from the dust of the ground? - Genesis 2:7

That, not taken literally, would seem to suggest that Adam (i.e., man) was made from what had once been inorganic matter (i.e., the dust of the ground), which is actually an amazing insight, lending credence to the claims that the Bible was in fact divinely inspired, since men of the ancient world would have no other way of knowing that.
