Revision as of 17:10, 15 May 2018
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. (KJV)
Whoever flees at the sound of the terror
- shall fall into the pit;
and whoever climbs out of the pit
- shall be caught in the snare.
For the windows of heaven are opened,
- and the foundations of the earth tremble. (NRSV)
The foundations of the earth here illustrate the geocentric language of the Bible, which assumes that the sun and moon move around the stationary earth. This is contrary to the heliocentric model accepted by modern science. See Theistic Heliocentrism for the comparison between Heliocentrism and Evolution.
