They had no mathematical way to express it.
And they didn't express it, did they?
The only ones expressing it, are the ones who are desperately trying to show the Bible as errant.
The verses were not literally true, but close enough.
You're not a draftsman, are you?
Some blueprints are stamped NTS (Not To Scale) for simplicity; and accepted as such.
That molten sea was not made from 1 Kings 7:23 ...
1 Kings 7:23 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.
It was made from sight.
Exodus 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
And recorded, using NTS principles.
This is a problem only for those who insist that the Bible must be inerrant in every word, and that the sky is a dome above a flat Earth with windows in it for rain to fall through.

See what this academic thinking leads to?
Anything for a buck, I suppose.
