Jeremiah 43:9

the brickkiln = the brick pavement before the royal palace. Laid bare in 1886 by Flinders Petrie. See note on 2 Samuel 12:31 . There could be no "brickkiln "close to the entrance of the palace. But such a platform is seen to-day outside all great, and most small, houses in Egypt. It is called mastaba, and is kept clean, and swept. Often made of beaten clay, edged with bricks. For this particular brickwork pavement, see App-87 . See note on Jeremiah 43:7 .
