👉 Biblical engineering, as depicted in the Bible, refers to the practical application of scientific and architectural knowledge by ancient Israelites and their contemporaries, often attributed to figures like Noah, Moses, and the builders of the Tabernacle and Temple. These texts showcase ingenious solutions to everyday problems and monumental construction projects, such as the creation of water purification systems (e.g., the well at Shunem), the design of earthquake-resistant structures, and the construction of elaborate water management systems like cisterns and aqueducts. The biblical engineers employed principles of physics, mathematics, and materials science, often using locally sourced materials and innovative techniques. Their work not only met the practical needs of their communities but also demonstrated a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainability, reflecting a holistic approach to engineering that integrated spiritual and practical considerations.
