1 Kings 7:23-24 is often used as a proof text to attack the reliability of the Bible. That formula shows just how incredibly accurate the Bible is. A cubit is roughly 18 inches and a "handsbreadth" (noted in 2 Chronicles 4:2)is roughly 4 inches . The formula is for the inside circumference of the molten sea mentioned in those verses.
Okay, thanks.
"The formula is for the inside circumference of the molten sea mentioned in those verses."
Don't believe that nonsense. Embedded within those mysterious numbers are the lottery numbers for the next drawing. P-M is just trying to be spiritual about it.
