2 Kings 20:10-11

20:10 Hezekiah answered, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps, but not for it to go back ten steps.” 20:11 Isaiah the prophet called out to the Lord, and the Lord made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairs of Ahaz.


tn Heb “the shadow.” The noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“it”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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