Bible Dictionary
Dial
"An instrument for showing the time of day from the shadow of astyle or gnomon on a graduated arc or surface; "rendered"steps" in Authorized Version, (exodus 20:26; 2 kings 10:19) and"degrees," (2 kings 20:9,10,11; isaiah 38:8) where to give aconsistent rendering we should read with the margin the"degrees" rather than the "dial" of Ahaz. It is probable thatthe dial of Ahaz was really a series of steps or stairs, andthat the shadow (perhaps of some column or obelisk on the top)fell on a greater or smaller number of them according as thesun was low or high. The terrace of a palace might easily bethus ornamented.
