Regarding the heliocentric model, i.e., planets revolve around the sun, the Bible does not have much to say about this. It’s also noteworthy that according to Modern Hebrew, chuwg includes the definition of a sphere. Strong’s defines this word as a “…from OT:2328 a circle.” The Brown Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon provides a similar quote: “a circle, a circuit, a compass.” Some will agree that the earth is circular in shape, but is flat and not a three-dimensional sphere.Īs seen above, BDB expands the definition of chuwg to include a “vault,” which is a three-dimensional shape. The word “circle” derives from the Hebrew chuwg. Isaiah 40:22 states, “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.” The Bible describes the earth as circular in shape. Is the earth a sphere or do we live on a flat earth? Also, are we living in a heliocentric model of the universe?
