What’s that have to do with the People’s lack of understanding of the scope of the world at the time?
Hint: nothing.
You provided the verse that said the Earth was a sphere. I read the verse and it very clearly, in very plain English, said the Earth was a circle.
If THAT was translated incorrectly, shat else was?
I say it was translated with the knowledge at the time...that they thought the Earth was flat.
That they knew of water springs is irrelevant. They might have seen them in fresh water, but I doubt they went to the bottom of a sea and saw them.
Omg, the Earth hangs on nothing? That means they knew the Earth was not flat? Wait...flat things “hang”...
This is called “knowing stuff”?
Maybe you should try reading the entire book . Instead of mocking it read it and prove it wrong.
If you read it you would be surprised at what they did know .
Things you wouldn’t even begin to think about like the concept of phi.
