Isaiah 38:8

Context
38:8 Look, I will make the shadow go back ten steps on the stairs of Ahaz.” 1  And then the shadow went back ten steps. 2 

1 tn Heb “the shadow on the steps which [the sun] had gone down, on the steps of Ahaz, with the sun, back ten steps.”

sn These steps probably functioned as a type of sundial. See HALOT 614 s.v. מַעֲלָה and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 256.

2 tn Heb “and the sun returned ten steps on the steps which it had gone down.”
