Brick
Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or Genesis 11:3 (c) This is a type of man-made religious programs which lack the consistency, strength and durability of the Rock of Ages. No religion of any kind that has its origin in the mind of a man or a woman will pass GOD's judgment. Salvation is of the Lord, and not of some group of men or women. Salvation is of the Jews, and therefore cannot come through any Gentile source. All false religions are as "bricks." They are designed and conceived in human minds and are not based on the Word of GOD, nor the will of GOD.
Isaiah 9:10 (b) Israel found that if their first efforts in following idols should fail, then they would devise ways and means of sinning in a more durable and lasting way.
Isaiah 65:3 (b) Here we find a picture of the wickedness of Israel. They should have made altars of stone. Stones are made by GOD. Instead of that they made altars of brick, and bricks are made by men. They substituted their own works (bricks), for and instead of GOD's works (stones). (See also Exodus 20:25).
