AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Kings 20:11 So Isaiah the prophet called out to the LORD, and He brought the shadow on the steps ten steps backward by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. |
Bible Question: I'm looking for an interpretation of Isaiah 38:8 when he's talking about the shadow cast by the sun going back 10 steps. Is time moving forward or backward? |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, richman766, and welcome to the SBF, John D. Davis, in Davis Dictionary of the Bible, says the moving backwards of gnomon (pole) could have caused by an eclipse of the sun. There was one May 6, 724 BC between 6:09 and 8:24 in the morning. There is no "lost time" in the Bible. Searcher |
