Genesis 11:3 Douay-Rheims

And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar.

Sforno

c. 1475–1550 Jewish

"Come let us make bricks" to build houses and sheep folds. And this was the idea of the individuals in the general public as it says "and one man said to his fellow."

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
