This.

But also:


Did God built it or did the man Solomon hire @Dominate ?

Like an ellipse, perhaps?

Sure, that's one out. But look at how much detail there is describing every last thing in the preceding and succeeding verses. It'd be out of place for the shape to be something else and not be better described, IMO. "Round all about" would be assumed to be a circle without further detail. For example, an ellipse would need two measurements across, so it might say ten cubits from one brim to the other in one direction, and five cubits from one brim to the other in the other.

But even if it wasn't meant to be a circle, it's unclear from the description given, so it goes back to my point - science/reason is sometimes required to interpret the bible correctly.

V I already addressed your point in my last post.

There's actually a simpler explanation.
Since this wasn't an engineer's report, nobody thought that exact measurement was necessary.

"ten cubits from the one brim to the other" = Length

"and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." = diameter

Once again, you answer me first. Because I asked you first.

Did the Bible say God built it>? Or did it say that Solomon hired a man to build it?
