A ball does not have a side that could be considered “a face”, but a flat earth does. KJV phrases it as “when he set a compass upon the face of the depth”. In Job 22:14 we can read about God walking on the circle/vault of heaven (walking on the firmament of heaven), and in Proverbs 8:27 we can read that this circle was inscribed into the face of the deep. “Circle” in the above verse is a translation from the Hebrew noun chug (Strong’s 2329) which means circle, vault or horizon.(Note that it is not translated as ball or sphere.) Apart from the above verse, it is found twice more in the Bible. A circle is not the same as a globe, a ball or a sphere, even if a ball can look like a circle if viewed in only one dimension. 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a TENT to dwell inįrisbees and dinner plates are shaped like circles, and circles are indeed round. There are at least three main problems with this verse if you want to use it to prove a globe – the circle, the grasshoppers and the tent … If you want to prove that the earth is a globe based on the Bible, you must use another verse than Isaiah 40:22 since this verse does not say it.
