And it is the same word used in

Genesis 2:11 the LAND of Havilah --Is there a planet named Havilah?
Genesis 2:13 the LAND of Ethiopia--Is there a planet named Ethiopia?
Genesis 4:16 the LAND of Nod--Which star does this planet orbit?
Genesis 10:10 the LAND of Shinar
Genesis 11:28 Haran died in the LAND of his nativity--or was it the planet
of his nativity?

Genesis 11:31 the LAND of Caanan
Genesis 12:1 Abraham was to follow God to a LAND or Planet that God would
show him?

The ONLY occurrence that can be possibly construed as planet earth is the
very first occurence where God created the LAND in Genesis 1:1. And this
occurrence could also be interpreted as God creating the LAND.
