There is no mention of hands at all. You're reaching.

Really?

Look what I found!:

And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. (1 Kings 7:26 KJV)

So, if it was a "hand breadth thick" (like the bible says) how many cubits would the inside circumference be?

Huh?

You're still reaching. It said thirty cubits compassed it around, not a phrase one would use for an internal circumference. You can't claim ten cubits from brim to brim is an outside measurement, and thirty cubits is an inside measurement, wthout special pleading. So give it up.
