Hezekiah is sick and prays, and the sun returns ten steps on the sundial

병든 히스기야가 기도하고 일영표의 해 그림자가 십도를 물러감

Isaiah 38:1–8: in those days Hezekiah is sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, comes to him, and says to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’” Then Hezekiah turns his face to the wall and prays to the LORD, and says, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah weeps bitterly. Then the LORD’s word comes to Isaiah, saying, “Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city. This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken. Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” The text says, “So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.” The Korean Revised Version gives the weeping of 38:3 no subject of its own (심히 통곡하니); it has the LORD speak in the first person at 38:7 (나 여호와가 말한 것을 네게 이룰 증거로 이 징조를 네게 주리라, I will give you this sign as a token that I the LORD will do for you what I have spoken), where WEB reads “that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken”; and at 38:8 it tells that the shadow of the sun (해의 그림자) went back ten degrees (십도), where WEB reads “So the sun returned ten steps”, and reads 나아갔던 (had gone forward) where WEB reads “gone down”. It reads 38:1 너는 네 집에 유언하라, where WEB reads “Set your house in order”.
