“If
the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more
strength; but wisdom brings success.” Ecclesiastes 10:10

Pi in
the Bible??? 1 Kings 7:23
23 He made the Sea of cast
metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits [a] from rim to
rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits [b] to
measure around it.
Footnotes:
- That is, about 15 feet (about 4.5 meters)
- That is, about 45 feet (about 13.5 meters)
Even at this
time, pi was estimated to 3! 30cubits/10cubits

Oh Number PI
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
Your digits are unending,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
No pattern are you sending.
You're three point one four one five nine,
And even more if we had time,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
For circle lengths unbending.
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
You are a number very sweet,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
Your uses are so very neat.
There's 2 Pi r and Pi r squared,
A half a circle and you're there,
Oh, number Pi
Oh, number Pi
We know that Pi's a tasty treat.
(to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree")
