NASB | Isaiah 38:8 "Behold, I will cause the shadow on the stairway, which has gone down with the sun on the stairway of Ahaz, to go back ten steps." So the sun's shadow went back ten steps on the stairway on which it had gone down. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 38:8 "Listen carefully, I will turn the shadow on the stairway [denoting the time of day] ten steps backward, the shadow on the stairway (sundial) of Ahaz." And the sunlight went ten steps backward on the stairway where it had [previously] gone down. |
Subject: Was time turned back 40 minutes? |
Bible Note: Thank you Ed. We did come to the conclusion that just that fact that God showed he was capable of doing that (in order to prove that he would also be capable of allowing Hezekiah to live 15 years longer)was the true point of turning back time, but at the same time felt there must be some true science behind the 10 steps, or 10 degrees. This is just a case of curious minds want to know. :) I had not considered things like latitude, longitude, etc. but I am sure you are correct about that. Thanks for taking time to respond to my question! Connie |
