神坐在地球大圈(circle)之上,地上的居民好像蝗虫。他铺张穹苍如幔子,展开诸天如可住的帐篷。(以賽亞書 40:22) Isaiah 40:22 (King James Bible) 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 in:
上帝将北极铺在空中,将大地(earth)悬在虚空。 (约伯记26章7节)
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. (Job 26:7)
