Footnotes
- 9 The words “Isaiah replied” are supplied in the translation for clarification. In the present form of the Hebrew text v. 7 is joined directly to v. 6, but vv. 21–22, if original to Isaiah 38, must be inserted here. See 2 Kgs 20:7–8.
- 10 Heb “the shadow on the steps which [the sun] had gone down, on the steps of Ahaz, with the sun, back ten steps.” These steps probably functioned as a type of sundial. See מַעֲלָה and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (), .
- 11 Heb “and the sun returned ten steps on the steps which it had gone down.”
