Newton's third law of motion is that for every force exerted on an object there is another force of equal magnitude exerted in the opposite direction.
In other words, by virtue of having weight, you are pressing down on the earth. Well, the earth is also pressing up on you in a force equal to your weight.
For the example you provided, the day is 14. So, using that as the mass (14 kg), the weight can be calculated as follows:
W = mg
W = (14 kg) * 9.8 m/s^2
W = 137.2 N.
The direction of this weight vector is pointing towards the center of the earth, or "down" according to your reference frame.
As for other examples of physical forces in the old and new testament, you have ample examples to pick from. Just a few off the top of my head:
- Moses hitting the rock, releasing water (Exodus 17:6)
- The rock, shot from the sling shot of David, striking Goliath (Samuel 17:49)
