If God wanted to convey the idea that the earth is a sphere he could have done so without any effort. He speaks perfect English. He also spoke perfect Hebrew once upon a time.
Compare:
Isaiah 40:22 -- It is he that sitteth upon the circle 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:
where the word translated as circle is חוג (chug). It means flat as in a coin. The Hebrew word for globe, or orb or ball is דור (dur).With:
Isaiah 22:18 -- He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
Ball here is of course dur. Hope that helps.
