Israeli scientists said on Tuesday they have created the world’s smallest Bible, fitting a Hebrew-language version of the holy book on a gold-coated silicon chip smaller than a pinhead.
Researchers from Technion, Israel’s Institute of Technology, were able to pack the 308,428-word Hebrew Bible – known to most as the Old Testament – on a 0.5 millimetre square, Ohad Zohar, who directed the project, told AFP.
“This is the world’s tiniest Bible,” Zohar said. “The Guinness Book of World Records has a Bible 50 times bigger.”
