Even you said the Hebrew term simple describes color of the building material and not actual content.
How the hell do you think they make bricks? You take some clay, shape it into the shape you want, then bake it to harden it.
I hate this "that bible passage doesn't mean what it means" crap that Christians love to throw around.
If you take Clay and bake made baked clay aka ceramics. not bricks (nothing that will support any type of structure.)
Clay is nothing more than a media or filler. in order for a brick to be structurally sound there needs to be a binding agent in the presents of a compatiable reinforcing agent with in the brick itself, and a way to set it/cure it.
Which means there are potentially 1000's of possiable combinations of materials coming together under the same descriptive term, "Brick." ever been to home depot? do they sell just one kind of brick? is a brick you can use to trim out your garden the same brick used to support the foundation of a house?
This isn't about chopping the meaning of the bible's content up. This is just basic building material knowledge. Which is what is need to limit how tall one can estimate a structure to be.
If a building material content is unknown then it is unknown, and no one can truly limit what can and can not be done. If one insists then that insistence can be accurately identified as faith.
