Was Klingon it, yes.

Not that I know anything at all about such things.
But I can make a mess with the provided tools.

eg Jot & Tittle & co which Christ said would by no means pass from the law.

Solomon's giant "bath" - large bronze tank outside temple used for
ceremonial washing of 'stuff' appears to lave a stated C/D ratio of
3:1.
People have complained about this value for Pi. Examination of the
surrounding text by those suitably skilled in the art (ie ANY/all
ancient Hebrew scholar) shows to a person suitably skilled in the art
(certainly not me) that a jot/tittle/summat has been omitted in
transcription from one word. Restoring such apparently produces a
value for Pi to about (as I try to recall) 10 or 12 places. I think
this may be lightly buried in the text rather that being the actual
statement of ratio. eg the letters etc of te words spell out
314159265... . This using standard Hebrew gematria / gimatria /
(gammatria) which I mentioned before. The basic number/letter
correspondence is a fundamental aspect of the Hebrew language and
number systems. Many of the interpretations thereof are "more
speculative".
