It doesn't. I merely showed that the word doesn't prove the sun "goes down" in the literal sense, as was an argument used on the last page to 'prove' earth was not flat.
Btw, if we want to get into biblical proofs...there are plenty for a stationless, flat earth with the sun and moon attached to the firmament, and 0 for the Globe model.
Oh. Hmm, I think, though, that it's still a common expression that the sun goes down in the evening, comes up in the morning, etc., similar to saying when a hot-air balloon 'rises' we say it's going up, up and away ..... But if we see it or a plane or something crashing, we say it's going (or coming) down. Even if we lose sight of it 'behing the horizon', we still say it went down.
I don't know how much specific words are intended to convey a scientific fact in all cases when we read them in the bible, as much as they often are used to convey a simple truth that as many ppl as possible might be able to comprehend, as well as using the language and the understanding at the time they were written. There may be exceptions, but as a general rule..... Just like 50 years ago a computer specialist might have known what 'megabytes' were, but most folks might not, and if someone was writing about their computer, they might have just written the word 'data' or something.
Maybe a poor example, but I'm just saying that sometimes the words are just a reflection of the language and understanding of the times, not necessarily making a hard and fast modern-day scientific declaration.
