Translation of "Betume" in English

Disseram uns aos outros: Eia pois, façamos tijolos, queimando-os bem. Os tijolos lhes serviram de pedras e o betume de argamassa.

And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar.

Como não podia escondê-lo por mais tempo, ela pegou uma cesta de papiro, calafetou com betume e piche, pôs nela a criança e deixou-a entre os juncos na margem do rio. De longe, uma das irmãs do menino observava o que lhe ia acontecer.

And when she could hide him no longer, she took a basket made of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and pitch: and put the little babe therein, and laid him in the sedges by the river's brink, his sister standing afar off, and taking notice what would be done.
