I know you want that to be the case, but there is no scholarly debate here. Everyone is in complete agreement who is competent and has studied the text. This is going back many centuries / arguably millennia.
The biblical view of the world (i.e. universe) is inherited from the hebrew view. They are one and the same.
It is a flat world set immovably/fixed on pillars covered by a firmament with vaults connecting to the waters below and above (which were opened temporarily to flood the world that time).
sauce and feel free to follow the links
You don’t seem to understand what i’m saying, This isn’t an issue of selective translation. There is no weaseling out of it. The world is described as flat in the bible many times, because the people who wrote it believed it was. There is no argument, although i understand why you would like there to be one.
it isn’t, but there are many books available (hundreds, if not thousands of years of them) about the biblical/hebrew conceptions of the world available which outline such things.
If you earnestly look and can’t find any, i can suggest some - but it is better that you find them yourself (i could bias you by suggesting specific sources).

The biblical/hebrew conception of the world [universe] isn’t the scope of your post?
I thought you wanted a list of the biblical passages which clearly convey the biblical conception of a flat world?
They are usually found in such books! There are a lot of them - it isn’t subtle, nor is it supposed to be.
As i said, if you earnestly look for them and can’t find them, i can help point you in the right direction.
