God transmitted His desire how he wanted man to create a relationship with Him.Check out the Artscroll Talmud Sanhedrin...The description of how solar system revolves is pretty cool.Job 26:7 is really remarkable because most people believed earth was supported by something while the verse says Earth is hung upon nothing in empty space.
Meanwhile, 1 Samuel 2:8 says the opposite.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; on them he has set the world.
And there's Psalm 104:5
5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
The Bible also describes the Earth as a flat circle, and the heavens as a dome above the flat circle.
Isaiah 40:22
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
So, the Bible isn't looking very good in the science department.
And you guys don't know how to read the Bible.
"Earth" is physicality.
"Foundation" is the relationship between man and God.
חוּג Chug...Since this verse is referring to humans, humans see the sky above them and not the entire globe.
I think you are mixing up Job 26:7 with Isaiah 40:22 which was written almost 800 years later.
Some people believe the Bible was written from a human viewpoint. The truth is the Jehovah is the author of the Bible and verses like Job 26:7 and Isaiah 40:22 are written from God's viewpoint. We are the grasshopers of Is. 40:22.
For example, from whatever direction God views planet earth it appears as a circle (Hebrew chuywg in Isaiah 20:22). That Hebrew word means circle in 2 dimensions and sphere in 3 dimensions.
Job could not have viewed planet earth to see it is hung upon nothing (Job 26:7).
God cannot accomplish this by leaving man's POV out of the picture.
The structure Of Isaiah 20:22 starts with God's POV and then switches to man's POV and that's why the circle perspective is accurate.
Your mistake is summarizing the verse and not reading it word by word.
Job 26:7...Nothing physical can rely upon anything but God's will for it to exist.
The Bible does not leave man's point of view out of the picture. But when is comes to science, the Bible was far advanced from human points of view at that time - such as the earth being hung upon nothing (Job 26:7) which is in contrast with ancient beliefs such as being supported by elephants on a turtle. The Bible does not contain mythical statements like in the book of 1 Enoch in the Pseudepigrapha which purported to contain secrets of the Cosmos but is out of harmony with science.
