Answer The Bible does not say that the world is round (or spherical). The concept of a firmament, mentioned in Genesis 1:6-8 actually implies a flat earth. By late biblical times, some Greek philosophers had established that the world is round, but this was unknown to the biblical authors.

Answer

Isaiah 40:22 describes the earth as round like a circle: He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Several other bible passages mention a round world, as well as that it "hangs in space". One can easily Google this and read them. Bible authors new this over 1,000 before Copernicus' famous declaration in 1475.
