He inscribed a CIRCLE on the face of the deep

[tonychanyt]

Job 22:

14 Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.

Strong's Hebrew: 2329. חוּג (chug) — 3 Occurrences

H2329 refers to some kind of curved space.

Berean Standard Bible, Isaiah 40:

22 He sits enthroned above the circle [H2329] of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

There was a personification of wisdom in Proverbs 8:

22 The LORD created me [Wisdom] as His first course, before His works of old. 23 From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.

Wisdom was there before the creation of the heavens and earth.

27 I was there when He established the heavens, when He inscribed a circle [H2329] on the face of the deep, 28 when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,

H2329 could depict a sphere.

It is a circle, circles are one dimension, plus a sphere is not a circle.

There was a personification of wisdom in Proverbs 8:

22 The LORD created me [Wisdom] as His first course, before His works of old. 23 From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.

Wisdom was there before the creation of the heavens and earth.

Yet, wisdom, too, was a creation of God's, according to your quote of Prov 8:22. Granted, it is poetry, and not what we would commonly call a tech manual. But, yes, the implication is that wisdom is means to his "works of old" and not a result of those things he created so long ago.

Wisdom could be represented with beauty and order— specifically, math/logic and other non-falsifiables. What we commonly consider "just the way things are", or 'brute fact', 'reality', is itself made by God, and does not govern him.

@tonychanyt did say, "could depict" —not "is".

As an artist who has drawn 100's+ of circles, explain how a circle can depict a sphere. The verse states a circle, all that can be depicted by a circle is a circle.

I saw a picture of the earth. It appeared circular.

Why, if the earth is a sphere why did the earth not appear spherical

Take a photo of one of those globes on a stand, like they have in school and see how your photo compares. To what you are seeing from nasa.

Looks similar. I can see by the shading that it is a globe. And a circle describes it.

"The word "describe" comes from the Latin word "describere" which means "to write down, copy; sketch, represent"."

I came across this artist rendering of a globe. I guess the point of this is how can you tell if you are looking at a painting or a photo. NASA found a super-Earth. It's in a tantalizing place.

It actually does depict a sphere.... It's more of a "dome" in the ancient Hebrew, but from a God's eye view, a sphere would appear to be a dome. That said, you're going to upset all of the flat earthers that dwell around the globe!
