Answer: Pi in the Bible is ` 3 '





This is why Pi works in the worldwide DNA, science, math and even
in Biblecodes :

It is often claimed that the Bible states that π is exactly 3, based on a passage in 1 Kings 7:23 (ca. 971-852 BCE) and 2 Chronicles 4:2 giving measurements for the round basin located in front of the Temple in Jerusalem as having a diameter of 10 cubits and a circumference of 30 cubits


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

Pi or π is a mathematical constant which represents the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean geometry, which is the same as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159. Pi is one of the most important mathematical constants: many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve π.[1]

Geometrical period

That the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is the same for all circles, and that it is slightly more than 3, was known to ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Indian and Greek geometers. The earliest known approximations date from around 1900 BC; they are 25/8 (Babylonia) and 256/81 (Egypt), both within 1% of the true value.[2] The Indian text Shatapatha Brahmana gives π as 339/108 ≈ 3.139. The Tanakh appears to suggest, in the Book of Kings, that π = 3, which is notably worse than other estimates available at the time of writing (600 BC). The interpretation of the passage is disputed,[24][25] as some believe the ratio of 3:1 is of an exterior circumference to an interior diameter of a thinly walled basin, which could indeed be an accurate ratio, depending on the thickness of the walls. See: Biblical value of Pi.

Archimedes (287-212 BC) was the first to estimate π rigorously. He realized that its magnitude can be bounded from below and above by inscribing circles in regular polygons and calculating the outer and inner polygons' respective perimeters:[25]

Rabbi Nehemiah explained this in his Mishnat ha-Middot (the earliest known Hebrew text on geometry, ca. 150 CE) by saying that the diameter was measured from the outside of the brim while the circumference was measured along the inner rim. The stated dimensions would be exact if measured this way on a brim about four inches wide.

This is disputed, however, and other explanations have been offered, including that the measurements are given in round numbers (as the Hebrews tended to round off measurements to whole numbers), that cubits were not exact units, or that the basin may not have been exactly circular, or that the brim was wider than the bowl itself. Many reconstructions of the basin show a wider brim extending outward from the bowl itself by several inches. [4]

yes, there is something about a circle with a radius of 8 1/2 feet?

i know from that it is 17 feet in diameter, so would that make it 53.40703 feet
in diameter, then what would it be in inches...just wondering? duh?

i saw a stamp and it was a circle and i was sitting in it and wrote the
Hebrew letters for Alef Tau, or Alpha Omega.

just made me think of being centered in Christ, or Christ-centered.
this made me think about the circle study of the names of the twelve disciples.

Kahuna and Godsword can tear this thread apart.

The Bible was using exterior radiuses and not center.

Exterior made it around 3.13.

Center made it 3.

Yes, indeed . . . the circle study of the names of the 12 disciples.

You are so sharp. If you were a tac, to pin a poster on a board, your sharpness would
hold that message flyer for 10,000 years . . .


See the 10,000 question, topic and help me find the scriptures, sister.

Now, off to bed I go . . . I am still thinking of the tea party ! Can I join ?


love to you, Signet !

Third, the Lamb is “standing.” This slain Lamb, who was violently slaughtered and put to death, is now actually standing! Having been killed, He is alive again, and He is standing in the innermost circle next to the throne.


Third, the death of Christ not only saved men, it also made them priests and kings so that they would share in His kingdom (cf. 1 Pet 2:5, 9). Priesthood involves immediate access into God’s presence for praise and worship as well as the privilege of priestly service. The fourth is the blessing of His people by allowing them to rule on the earth (during the millennium).42 This is man’s ultimate end; he will worship God by fulfilling God’s ordained responsibilities on a new earth, for all eternity.

[GR] > The Number 314


314 + The Almighty (Shaddai) + And I will be their God + Book + Return Ye! + Wedding + Filled + WiseMan + And washed + The King YHVH (Full)


This is one of those verses that is very easy to remember because the value of the call to "Turn" coincides with the index, as well as the central idea of Marriage (Gamos = 314). Note also the connection with the idea of "filling" which also is from John 2. This all relates to the Holy Spirit, the Number 3, the Third Day, and Gimel, Gamma, and Gamos.

The connection between Book (Biblos = 314) and the Bible and the Number pi = 3.14159265... is very interesting in light of the continued fraction convergent pi ~ 22/7 = 3.142857_ and the structure of the Bible as a Wheel of 22 Spokes and 7 symmetrical canonical divsions (cf. The Canon Wheel Explanation).
