"Those who gave counsel to build the tower, for they whom
thou seest drove forth multitudes of both men and women, to make bricks; among
whom, a woman making bricks was not allowed to be released in the hour of
child-birth, but brought forth while she was making bricks, and carried her
child in her apron, and continued to make bricks. And the Lord appeared to them
and confused their speech, when they had built the tower to the height of four
hundred and sixty-three cubits. And they took a gimlet, and sought to pierce the heavens, saying, Let us see (whether) the heaven is
made of clay, or of brass, or of iron. When God saw this He did not permit
them, but smote them with blindness and confusion of speech, and rendered them
as thou seest." (Greek Apocalypse of Baruch, 3:5-8)
