Är det någon som har stenkoll på hur man citerar Bibeln i en uppsats? Referenssystem APA. Behöver jag med information än vad som finns i det här stycket? i så fall vad? Det är en andrakälla (säger man så? en källa i källan)
In the Old Testament (I Kings vii., and Chronicles iv.), we find the following verse: ‘Also, he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about’. Hence the biblical value of π is / = . The Jewish Talmud, which is essentially a commentary on the Old Testament, was published about 500 AD. This shows that the Jews did not pay much attention to geometry. However, debates have raged on for centuries about this verse. According to some, it was just a simple approximation, while others say that ‘. . . the diameter perhaps was measured from outside, while the circumference was measured from inside’.
