@Br. Bear,
' And they said one to another,
Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,
whose top may reach unto heaven;
and let us make us a name,
lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
(Gen 11:3-4)
'And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage,
in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field:
all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.'
(Exo 1:13)
'And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore:
let them go and gather straw for themselves.
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them;
ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle;
therefore they cry, saying," Let us go and sacrifice to our God."
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein;
and let them not regard vain words.'
(Exo 5:6-9)
'I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people,
which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
A people that provoketh me to anger continually to My face;
that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; (See Exodus 20:25)
Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,
which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou.
These are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day.'
(Isa 65:2-5)
* What a productive journey could be made along the pages of Scripture, with the study of the situations surrounding the humble brick it contains: eg., the building of the tower of Babel and the constructions within Egypt, as illustrated above. (see also 'hewn' and 'stone')
* Look at the assessment of the Egyptians regarding the cries of the children of Israel that they may go and sacrifice to God, in Exodus 5:6-9 (above). They call them, 'vain words!' How typical of the attitude of the world to God their Creator.
Thank you Br. Bear
