A sheep in wolf's clothing.
From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.
(Psalms 33:14-15) NKJV
Searching for meaning in the original Hebrew presents a problem of the variety that makes us wonder if the Theologians of old had a clue, and, if they did, did they figure that they could fudge it because no one would notice?

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
(Psalms 104:5) KJV
This is a very specific usage of the word foundation. The root that the word is derived from is makon, which is more broad, however this particular variant occurs in one place only. It clearly established that the foundation of the Earth was established once for ever.

Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
(Romans 8:27) NKJV
Here’s where we’ve gotten to: the mind is part of the soul, and the soul is gravity, so can we say that the mind of the spirit is referring to the gravitational component of a spiritual entity?

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
(1 Kings 8:13) KJV
The universe has an absolute frame of reference: the Earth is at the center. This is why the observable universe is a sphere of cosmological bodies which has an even distribution in every direction that we look.

When the exiles arrived at the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem, some of the leaders of the clans gave freewill offerings to help rebuild the Temple on its old site. They gave as much as they could for this work, and the total came to 1,030 pounds of gold, 5,740 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for priests.
(Ezra 2:68-69) Good News Translation
The idea that the presence of God dwells in a specific place, as a theme, doesn’t get picked up until King David wanted to build a temple. Up until that time the Lord used a tabernacle as the center of worship.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
(Jonah 2:6) KJV
“The earth with her bars” is how Jonah described the pillars of the earth when he was in the belly of hell, possibly in the place which we euphemistically refer to as Abraham’s bosom.

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
(Psalms 104:3) KJV
“The beams of his chambers” isn’t poetry. Well, yes it is poetry, but it’s not poetry for poetry’s sake. This describes the pillars of the earth as they were formed on the third day.

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength
—who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?—he who removes mountains, and they know it not,
when he overturns them in his anger,who shakes the earth out of its place,
(Job 9:4-6) ESV
and its pillars tremble;
The pillars of the earth occur in a few places in scripture. We can incorporate them into the Biblical narrative we’re constructing to explain the development of the spherical hollow Earth model.

Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
(Job 9:5-6) KJV
It will help to have an idea of the volume of material in the Earth’s mantle because it appears that Earth has shrunk since it was first created, a process known as radial shrinkage.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
(1 Samuel 2:8) KJV
“The pillars of the earth” are incorporated into a 3D model of a spherical Earth in which they’re part of Earth’s internal structure. They don’t require us to believe that the Earth is flat.
