While the Bible does not frequently use the word "flat" in the Berean Standard Bible translation, the concept can be explored through related terms and descriptions. Geographical Features: In biblical times, the landscape of the Near East included various geographical features, some of which were flat plains or plateaus. These areas were often significant for agriculture, settlement, and travel. For example, the "plain of Shinar" (<a href="/genesis/11-2.htm">Genesis 11:2</a>) is a flat region where the Tower of Babel was constructed. The flatness of such plains made them suitable for large gatherings and construction projects. Objects and Descriptions: The Bible occasionally describes objects or surfaces as flat. For instance, the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple involved crafting items with flat surfaces. The altar, tables, and other furnishings required precise, flat surfaces for their intended use. In <a href="/exodus/25-23.htm">Exodus 25:23</a>, the instructions for the Table of Showbread include making it with specific dimensions, implying a flat top for holding the bread. Metaphorical Uses: While the Bible does not explicitly use "flat" metaphorically in the BSB, the concept can be inferred in certain passages. For example, the idea of something being "leveled" or "made straight" can imply a flattening process. <a href="/isaiah/40-4.htm">Isaiah 40:4</a> states, "Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground shall become smooth, and the rugged places a plain." This passage uses the imagery of flattening to describe the preparation for the coming of the Lord, symbolizing the removal of obstacles and the creation of a direct path. Theological Implications: From a theological perspective, the concept of flatness can symbolize equality and justice. In a spiritual sense, the leveling of mountains and valleys can represent God's justice and the establishment of His kingdom, where all are equal before Him. This is reflected in the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized humility and the equal value of all individuals in the eyes of God. Cultural and Historical Context: Understanding the cultural and historical context of flat regions in the Bible enhances our comprehension of biblical narratives. Flat areas were often chosen for significant events, such as battles or gatherings, due to their accessibility and visibility. The flat plains of Megiddo, for example, were the site of numerous historical battles, including those mentioned in the Bible (<a href="/judges/5-19.htm">Judges 5:19</a>). In summary, while the term "flat" itself may not be frequently used in the BSB, its implications and related concepts are woven throughout the biblical narrative, offering insights into the physical and spiritual landscapes of the biblical world.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The root of the word signifies "to cut off" or "to cut flat," and in the Revised Version, margin "slit nose" is substituted. The condition indicated is most probably the depressed, flattened nose which so often accompanies harelip, especially in its double form. A mere snub-nose can scarcely be regarded as a blemish of sufficient importance to unfit a priest for the service of "offering the bread of God"; but harelip, like blindness or the other congenital malformations or deformities enumerated in this passage, might well render a son of Aaron unfit or unsuitable for public religious duty.
