The Hebrew word "erets" (earth) rarely means the whole planet. Genesis 1:10: God called dry land "earth." Genesis 11:1: "the whole earth" means all people. Genesis 13:6: "the land" couldn't support Abraham and Lot — obviously local, not planetary. Most flat earth arguments collapse once you understand this word.

Dictionary of Biblical Languages shows erets has many meanings: dry surface vs water, soil/dirt, country/region/territory, people group. Rarely means the entire physical globe. Context determines meaning each time. Most flat earth proof-texts misread erets as "planet" when it means "land" or "region."
