Brick:

(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 (Ezekiel 4:1). The Israelites, in common with other captives, were employed by the Egyptian monarchs in making bricks and in building (Exodus 1:14; 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; Jeremiah 43:9. When made of the Nile mud they required straw to prevent cracking. SEE [STRAW].
