¹And the angel of the Lord took me and led me unto a second heaven. And he shewed me there also a door like the first and said, Let us enter through it. And we entered, being borne upon wings a distance of about threescore days' journey. And he shewed me there also a plain, and it was full of men, whose appearance was like unto that of dogs, and whose feet were like those of harts. And I asked the angel: I pray thee, Lord, say unto me who are these. And he said, These are they 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 suffered 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 unto them and confounded their speech, when they had builded the tower to the height of four hundred and threescore and three cubits. And they took a gimlet, and sought to pierce the heaven, saying, Let us see whether the heaven is made of clay, or of brass, or of iron. When God saw this He did not suffer them, but smote them with blindness and confusion of speech, and rendered them as thou seest.
