The Bible does not prove that the Earth is flat. Some people have misinterpreted the following verses as showing a belief in a flat earth.

(Dan 4:10-11)

Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

This was a symbolic dream of Belteshazzar which was interpreted by Daniel.

(Mat 4:8) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

We do not presume this was a literal view of all the kingdoms of earth, but that they were portrayed for Jesus' mental eyes.

(Job 11:9) The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

This is poetic language indicating that God is immeasurable.

(Deu 13:7) Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

The ends of the earth in scripture refer to the farthest extremities from one's current location.

Actually, in (Job 26:7) the Bible says "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing" evoking an earth in space, as the sun and moon.

And in Isaiah 40:22 according to Gesenius's Lexicon, the original Hebrew word "chuwg" which means literally something with "roundness," a "sphere" of the earth--quite an astounding point of view for the time period this book was written.

(Isaiah 40:22) It is he that sitteth upon the circle (sphere) of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

What verses in the Bible prove that the Sun orbits the Earth?

The Bible does not prove that the Sun orbits the earth, although early scholars may have interpreted it that way. In the following passage, it is recorded that Joshua commanded the Sun to stand still. However, it was and is idiomatic to say that the Sun rises and sets, although we now understand that the earth revolves causing the Sun to appear to move through our field of vision.Joshua 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
