(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Ḩizqiy\sup yāh\sup* easy for_the,shadow to,lengthen ten steps not but retreat the,shadow backwards ten steps )

Why “it is an easy thing” can be stated clearly. “It is easy to cause the shadow to move forward ten steps, because that is the normal thing for it to do”
