Genesis 11:3

Καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ· Δεῦτε πλινθεύσωμεν πλίνθους, καὶ ὀπτήσωμεν αὐτὰς πυρί. καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς ἡ πλίνθος εἰς λίθον, καὶ ἄσφαλτος ἦν αὐτοῖς ὁ πηλός.

And a man said to his neighbour, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire.” And the brick was to them for stone, and their clay was asphalt.”

ויאמרו אישׁ אל־רעהו הבה נלבנה לבנים ונשׂרפה לשׂרפה ותהי להם הלבנה לאבן והחמר היה להם לחמר׃

 

* asphalt OR bitumen
