(Occurrence 0) Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Yəshaˊyāh/(Isaiah) this to,you the,sign from, YHWH that/for/because/then/when he/it_made/did YHWH DOM the,thing which/who promised go_forward the,shadow ten steps if go_back ten steps )
The source of “the shadow” can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “Do you want Yahweh to make the shadow caused by the sunlight on the stairway to go forward ten steps or to go back ten steps?”
(Occurrence 0) ten steps

This expression refers to the “stairway of Ahaz” in 2 Kings 20:11. This was probably a special stairway built for King Ahaz in such a way that its steps marked the hours of daylight as the sun’s rays advanced along them. In this way, the staircase served to tell the time during the day.
20:1-19 About that time: This general time reference indicates that the order of events is thematic rather than chronological. The episode concerning Merodach-baladan (20:12-19), whom Sennacherib had driven from Babylon before 701 BC, happened earlier than the events of chs 18–19 but after Hezekiah’s illness (20:12).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
