The Bible clearly states Pi is 3 in 1 Kings 7:23. It contains the famous passage "And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." This quotation predates Greek mathematics and is an example of the wisdom contained in the bible.
<big><math>\pi</math></big> is also the symbol used in mathematics for the ratio between the diameter of a circle and its circumference, and which appears in many other places.
