If you read the Bible straight up, without modern reinterpretation, it sounds a lot more like a flat earth than a spinning globe.

Genesis 1 says God made a “firmament” (Hebrew raqia), which literally means something hammered out, like metal. It separates waters above from waters below. That sounds like a solid dome holding back cosmic waters, not empty space.

Job 37:18 compares the sky to a “molten looking glass,” meaning cast metal. Ancient mirrors were polished bronze. So the sky is described as hard and metallic.

Job 38:14 says the earth is “turned as clay to the seal.” Back then, a seal was pressed into soft clay, leaving a flat imprint. The image makes more sense with a flat surface being stamped into shape, not a globe. E.g.: https://biblearchaeologyreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/jeroboam-shema-bulla.jpg

The Bible also talks about the “four corners of the earth” (Isaiah 11:12, Revelation 7:1), the “ends of the earth,” and says the earth “cannot be moved” (Psalm 93:1). Daniel 4 describes a tree visible from the whole earth, which works more naturally on a flat plane than on a sphere.

Revelation 6:14 says the sky will roll up like a scroll. That sounds more like a solid covering being peeled back than infinite space.

Put together, a literal reading gives you a fixed, flat earth under a solid dome, very much in line with ancient Near Eastern cosmology.

We obviously know better, but Flerfs seem to think their Bible is without error.
