In this passage the path of the Sun is described, and to understand it you need to know this. The rabbis of the Talmud believed that the earth was a flat disc, and that above the sky was an opaque covering called the rakia. During the day the Sun was visible under the rakia, and then at night it zipped back from where it set in the west to where it would rise again in the east by traveling over the rakia.
The other place that you will find the path of the Sun discussed in the Talmud is in Pesachim 94b (Talmud)
Is anyone suggesting that rabbis wrote the Talmud to trick jews? Observant jews are flat earthers. They follow the talmud.
