The Hebrew Bible (and Christian Bible, too) does not speak to scientific issues.

These writings shed light on acts of God, without which science cannot exist, let alone an orderly universe complete with human intelligence to observe and communicate about it.

Be this as it may, the language of the bronze age Hebrews is not sufficiently technical for modern scientific purposes. The Hebrew scriptures in question do not contain detail about how the Creator implemented creation. Instead, they are mostly concerned with morality, consciousness, and the human soul -- things science is ill equipped to deal with.
