You said one more post each on this subject. So according to the "Online Etymology Dictionary", (http://www.etymonline.com http://www.etymonline.com/ ), in the 14 th century, one possible meaning of the word circle meant, "to shape like a globe,". So Is it that when the KJV interpreters used the phrase "...circle of the earth" they believed the Hebrew word or Phrase they were translating meant "to shape like a globe". Just something to muse upon.
Definition below from the "Online Etymology Dictionary", (http://www.etymonline.com http://www.etymonline.com/ ) circle (v.) late 14c., cerclen, "to shape like a globe," also "to encompass or surround," from circle (n.). From c.1400 as "to set in a circular pattern." Related: Circled; circling.
