speaking of the four corners of the Earth literally.

Isaiah 11:12
And [Yahweh] will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners [Hebrew: kanaph] of the
earth.

Revelation 7:1
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners [Greek: gonia] of the earth, holding back
the four winds of the earth...

In the New Testament, the Greek word translated as “corners” is also translated as “quarters” by the
translators of the King James Bible, the translation which is most often cited as authoritative by flat-
Earth adherents.

Revelation 20:8
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters [Greek: gonia] of the earth
KJV

Th expression “four quarters” is understood to be a reference to the four directions North, East,
South, and West which are the four cardinal points of the compass. Indeed, this is the manner in
which the word should be understood, for the Earth is neither square nor rectangular in shape, a fact
that is demonstrated by numerous proofs, including the shape of the shadow which the Earth casts
upon the Moon during a lunar eclipse.

In the Hebrew, the word kanaph is translated with a wide assortment of English words.

kanaph (kaw-nawf'): an edge or extremity; specifically (of a bird or army) a wing, (of a garment or
bed-clothing) a flap, (of the earth) a quarter, (of a building) a pinnacle:
KJV - bird, border, corner, end, feather [-ed], flying, (one an-) other, overspreading, quarters, skirt,
sort, uttermost part, wing ([-ed]).

I will not spend more time refuting the contention that the Earth is square, for there are few even
among flat-Earthers who make this claim today. What then of the Earth being fixed in place,
immovable, and non-rotating as a great many modern proponents of the flat-Earth view declare?
Does the Bible actually teach that the Earth does not rotate, but is perfectly stationary? Following
are some of the Scriptures cited in support of this view.

I Chronicles 16:30
Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved
[Hebrew: mowt].

Psalms 93:1
The world also is established. It can't be moved [Hebrew: mowt].
