3 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.

1290. When they journeyed from the east. That this signifies when they went back from charity, is evident from the signification in the Word of “journeying,” and of “the east.” That “journeying” here signifies to go back, is evident from its being said concerning charity which is “the east” whence they journeyed.
