What does "removed" mean, in this context, other than "moved" then?

Just what it says. "Taken out of its place". As we know, the earths place is in orbit around our sun.

To me, you are making modern re-interpretations of verses that meant something completely different to readers 500 or 2000 years ago. At one time, verses like this would have been used by Biblical literalists as scriptural justification of rejecting modern astronomical ideas. No-one until fairly recently knew anything about the sun going round our island galaxy.
