Degrees
King Hezekiah was ill and asked for proof that he would recover. Through Isaiah the Lord offered a sign, and Isaiah put a question about a shadow: “shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?” Hezekiah thought it easy for a shadow to go down, so he chose the harder way. Then Isaiah “cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.” The whole account is in 2 Kings 20, with a parallel in Isaiah 38.
