Then post one of those clear passages for the rest of us to see.

Joshua 10:13-13

On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."

So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

Einstein had something to say about relative motion and the point of view of the observer.

To this day everyone speaks of the sun rising in the morning as if it were moving and not the Earth.

So the language involved in Joshua reveals that they used language in the same way that we do. It says nothing more revealing about nature than our own daily use of language does.
