My work on the number Pi in the Bible has been based on the rabbinical
tradition of reading into the discrepancy Ksiva and Kria in Biblical
Hebrew, and my work on the Biblical rib has been facing the inability
of English to translate the semantically rich ZELA otherwise than Rib
(French is slightly better in this case): a typical phenomenon in
translations which often distort the deep meaning of the Bible.
