It isn't known if he did but it is entirely possible since other writers referred to the spherical shape of the earth.
ANSWER
What is known of Moses knowledge of the creation is that it is completely at odds with the culture of his days view of how the creation came to be and in fact can easily be shown that He lists the order and process of creation in the order that it had to occur, in contradiction to the knowledge of his day, but is in complete agreement with what scientist today know has to be the order in which things happened in order for life to occur, whether this came via creation or evolution is immaterial. The fact that's easily shown that he got this process of order correct completely flys in the face of what Moses should have known, and obviously had a knowledge well in advance of that which was commonly thought of in those ancient times. That he did have a knowledge advanced concerning creation would seem to indicate that he probably had knowledge about whether the world was round or not, but the subject matter never comes up, and neither is mentioned by Moses. However in Job 26:10, Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6. Shows The Bible teaches not a flat earth but round, though Moses didnt specifically say.

∙ 8y agoWe know nothing of what Moses knew or believed about the world, if in fact Moses really was a historical person. Some say that Moses wrote the Book of Genesis, but there is no evidence to support this view, either in the book itself, or from other sources.
The author of Genesis, if indeed it was Moses, seems likely to have believed that the earth was flat, with a firmament placed above the earth to separate the waters above from the waters below, and the sun, moon and stars placed as lights on the surface of the firmament. It could probably be argued that it can not really be proven beyond doubt that the author believed the earth to be flat, but his limited understanding of nature is undeniable.

∙ 8y agoAbraham had a vast knowledge of the heavenly orbits (Talmud, Bava Bathra 16b), so we may assume that Moses received this knowledge through tradition and/or prophecy. The Torah itself is often silent on these matters, leaving them to our ancient oral tradition, which explicitly states that the Earth is spherical (midrash Bamidbar Rabbah 13:14). See also:

Hard answer as the question could be read as when did people know that the earth is round, or how do people know that the earth is round. Historically, many people have been credited with the theory of spherical earth, dating back to ancient Greece. Many philosophers of Ancient Greece spoke of earth being round, but most often the credit is given to Pythagoras. The explanation that the world wasn't flat was by observing changes in altitude and the placement of the stars in different locations as they moved around the pole.
