In ancient times, bricks were a common building material, especially in regions where stone was less abundant. The word is used to describe the rectangular shape and the process of forming bricks for construction purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, bricks were a fundamental building material, particularly in Mesopotamia and Egypt, where clay was abundant. The process of brick-making involved mixing clay with water, forming it into molds, and then drying or baking it to harden. This method allowed for the construction of durable structures, including homes, city walls, and monumental buildings. The use of bricks is well-documented in archaeological findings and ancient texts, highlighting their importance in ancient construction practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3835b.htm">laban</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a brick mold, quadrangle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brick (1), brick mold (1), brickkiln (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַלְבֵּן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>brick-mould</b></font>;
