'Encompass' suggests an outside diameter.OH?
Why?
If someone is going to describe the volume of something, it is the INSIDE measurement that is important. The outer walls could have been 14 cubits thick, but that still would not change the carrying capacity of the interior.

Because that's what the dictionary says: surround and have or hold within. The verse refers to the vessel, not its contents. It is therefore encompassed by the outer diameter.
I find it amusing you and your bud P Markowe will stretch the meaning of any word you can to try to make an obviously false statement appear true. If Pi can be three and 'encompass' mean something other than it does, why can't a day be 4 billion years?
