Hidden; with apologies to Modulous.Actually it should be 31.41592653589793.
Why should it be that instead of 31.415 92653 58979 32384 62643 cubits round? Just wondering.
1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
This is the text that would stand as the authority on Hiram's work. " . he made a
molten sea . "; "
It was . "; " . did compass
it . "
What is "
it"?
A molten sea.
Therefore,
1 Me 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: the molten sea was round all about, and his height for the molten sea was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass the molten sea round about.
If Hiram built a round bath tub that was 10 cubits in diameter the outside circumference would be 31.41592653589793 cubits.
Since the brim of it was a hand breadth thick and my hand is 4 1/8" wide.
If you subtract double my hand width from a cubit you have 9.55 cubits left which means the inside circumference was 30.00220984178252315 CUBITS.
Thus the statement would be correct.
You, for some reason of your own, measure a "bath tub" in one case and Hiram's molton sea in another.
How did Hiram know the width of your hand to 18 significant digits (I assume the 19
th digit is to prevent rounding error)?
How did you measure your hand width to 18 significant figures?
Sorry to run the above into the ground (yeah, right), but we really need to get the original list of 51 "facts" and the reasons they were later dismissed or we just end up counting dragon scales (to 18 significant digits, even).

17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shinniest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness.
