Actually the Bible says the opposite
Look at Isaiah 40
22 There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell,

Then pull out an Apollo 11 picture of the earth. From any point above the earth, you would see it as a circle. Any reference made is correct with the facts, as with the other scriptures cited by the other responders.

And the Hebrew word for circle is also used in reference to spheres.

The real test is that there is NO description in the Bible of the earth "setting on elephants, standing on a turtle" or being held up by Atlas.

In fact it describes the earth as not setting on anything.

Job 26:7
He is stretching out the north over the empty place,
Hanging the earth upon nothing;

It was not until some 400 years ago did we even begin to understand about gravity and how it holds the planets in place.

Atlas holds up the sky, not the Earth.

And so it was indirectly declared that a pancake is an orb and that a tent is not like a snow globe in the fact that it has a flat bottom.............

There are more than one words of Hebrew that can be translated into circle, however the Hebrew word
that can also be translated into orb as well as circle was not the one used.
