Well, the bible is clearly not literally true in everything. For example, in 1 Kings 7:23, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is given as three. We know that this value (pi) for the mathematical, is actually 3.1428..., so the bible is not literally correct here.

So they just rounded. 3.1428... isn't correct either. If you hit the pi button on a calculator, it comes up with 3.141592654... but that's ok, we all make mistakes from time to time.

You are absolutely correct, but, I don't claim to be inspired by God in my posts. Thank you for the correction, as I was going by memory.

It certainly points out how fallible memory can be, however. ;-)
