The Flat Earth, the Firmament, and the Three Storied Hebrew Universe
Below are a few great online resources to study the Biblical concept and history of the flat earth, the firmament, and the three storied Hebrew Universe.
The first four are written by Biblical scholar Dr. Paul Seely:
The Three-Storied Universe.
The Firmament and the Water Above Part 1.
The Firmament and the Water Above Part 2
The Geographical Meaning of "Earth" and "Seas" in Genesis 1:10.
On the the history of the concept of a flat earth see these two books:
Inventing the Flat Earth: Columbus and Modern Historians by Jeffrey Burton Russell.
Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea by Christine Garwood
[Thanks to Anthony for these great resources].
Ed Babinski has also done some nice work in this same area:
Flat Earth Assumptions of the Biblical Authors
Flat Earth and Flood Geology
You can see a diagram of how the Hebrews thought of their universe here:
