And what would I grep? Here is the passage:
He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits
[c] from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty
cubits [d] to measure around it. 24
About the only thing might be "circular," and I've got a hunch it
appears in lots of places.
Besides, you can't think to grep what you've never read.
The several bibles I've had were mostly stolen from motels.
