Examples
-
In this case, the term "eretz" is first used in Genesis 1: 1 (and all throughout the chapter) — "In beginning God created the heaven [s] and the eretz."
-
But the question then becomes this: Have I already heard why the Hebrew word "eretz" is spelled with a gimmel?
-
When we move to the Flood text, the eretz which is flooded is the entire eretz (and the flood kills all air-breathers on the entire face of the entire eretz and prevents the dove from finding any dry land anywhere, Gen 7: 21ff, 8: 9, etc), and the flood covers the highest mountains (at least in the immediate area) to a depth of at least 20 feet – any flood that covers the mountains of Ararat for roughly half a year is not going to be in any sense a "local" flood.

We are told it is our duty to treat everyone with derekh eretz (civility and humanity) and chesed (mercy and kindness).

-
I believe your claim that eretz does not equate to world/globe/planet when discussing the Flood is simply faulty.
-
And if it were a local flood, that makes God a liar, for He promised He would never send such a flood on the eretz again.
