  A round flat table on four pillars that sit in an ocean of unknown depth, with a crystalline hemispherical "firmament" on top of the table, the whole thing surrounded by water in all directions. When it rains or snows, God opens slits in the firmament. When it floods along the coast, God allows the oceans to escape. See Genesis chapter 1, plus the Noah narrative, and also references in the Psalms.
