BRICK - B>@ - kjv@Genesis:11:3) The brick in use among the Jews were much larger than with us, being usually from 12 to 13 inches square and 3 1/2 inches thick; they thus possess more of the character of tiles. kjv@Ezekiel:4:1) The Israelites, in common with other captives, were employed by the Egyptian monarchs in making bricks and in building. kjv@Exodus:1:14 kjv@Exodus:5:7) Egyptian bricks were not generally dried in kilns, but in the sun. That brick-kilns were known is evident from (2 Samuel 12:31; kjv@Jeremiah:43:9) When made of the Nile mud they required straw to prevent cracking.
