=== Book of Jubilees ===
The [[Book of Jubilees]] contains one of the most detailed accounts found anywhere of the Tower.
{{Blockquote|text=And they began to build, and in the fourth week they made brick with fire, and the bricks served them for stone, and the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt which comes out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar. And they built it: forty and three years were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height [of a brick] was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 [[cubit]]s and 2 palms, and [the extent of one wall was] thirteen [[Stadion (unit of length)|stades]] [and of the other thirty stades].|source=Jubilees 10:20–21, Charles' 1913 translation}}
