Gill's Notes on the Bible

y isaiah dijo, este signo tendrá del Señor, que el Señor hará lo que él ha hablado ,. Curarlo de su trastorno, para que pueda poder ir al templo al tercer día:

¿La sombra avanzará diez grados, o volverá diez grados ? Es decir, la sombra del sol en una placa de esfera; Se dejó a su opción elegir lo que lo haría, como el signo confirmatorio de su recuperación.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Diez grados - literalmente, "diez pasos". Tal vez no sea del todo seguro si la "esfera de Acaz" 2 Reyes 20:11 era realmente una esfera con un gnomon en el centro, y "grados" marcados a su alrededor, o un tiempo de marcado de pieles de construcción por medios de "pasos". Los relojes de sol propiamente dichos habían sido inventados por los babilonios antes de la época de Herodoto; pero el instrumento aquí probablemente era un instrumento que consistía en un conjunto de escalones, o escaleras, con un obelisco en la parte superior, cuya sombra descendía o ascendía los escalones según el sol se elevaba en los cielos o disminuía.

La pregunta sobre el modo por el cual se produjo el retorno de la sombra es sobre la cual se han sostenido muchas opiniones. Recientemente, se ha instado a que la verdadera causa del fenómeno sea un eclipse solar, en el que la luna oscureció toda la extremidad superior del sol; y se ha demostrado claramente que si tal ocurrencia ocurriera un poco antes del mediodía, habría tenido el efecto descrito como ocurrido: i. e., durante el oscurecimiento de las sombras de las extremidades superiores del sol se alargarían sensiblemente, y la del obelisco descendería las escaleras; A medida que el oscurecimiento pasara al revés, las sombras se acortarían, y la del obelisco se retiraría una vez más por las escaleras. Si este es el verdadero relato, el milagro consistiría en el conocimiento sobrenatural de Isaías de un evento que la astronomía de la época era bastante incapaz de predecir, y en la guía providencial de la voluntad de Ezequías, de modo que eligió el "signo" que en el El curso natural de las cosas estaba a punto de manifestarse.
