Does the Torah say the Sun revolves around the Earth?
Answer Norman, The Torah does not say that the sun revolves around the earth.The two words are used together only 9 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, most outside the Torah. David seems to imply this understanding in: PS 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. However, remember that the Psalms are prayers not revelation. Since we believed the same until less than 500 years ago, I guess we can cut the Psalmist a break. Hope this helps! Shalom!
