Please excuse this if duplicate,
but it appears that your question wasn't answered.

>How is the expression "circle of the earth" to be viewed based on the the
>original Hebrew word "chuwg" as found at Isaiah 40:22

The circle is the circle that the sun cuts through the heavens (sky).

The Lord sits at the top of that circle, or semi-circle.
Please note: the circle is pictured verticle to the land and does not
refer to the horizon or to the earth's surface.

blessings,

Randall Buth
Jerusalem
