I've been wondering something about the supposedly flat earth cosmology of
the old testament. Do we have hard extra-biblical evidence that the Jews
really believed in such a cosmology, or rather, does the evidence for it
merely come from wooden interpretations of the figures of speech used in the
Bible itself?
