An interesting site I found about PI in the bible is
hereBy studying the Hebrew words used in
quote:
1 Kings 7:23 He [Solomon] made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim [diameter = 10] and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.
By using the word used for circumference and what they actually used for circumference (which had an extra letter), comparing the ratio of the numbers of these words (remember, Hebrew attaches a number to each letter) they found that the error is only 0.00026% as compared to Babylon's error of 0.0165926% and Egypt's error of 0.0189012%.
If nothing else, it is an extreme coincidence then isn't it?
