Exegesis
The direct object ʾet-hā-ṣēl {אֶת־הַצֵּל | ʾet-hā-ṣēl} ‘the shadow’ appears in the locative ba-ma‘ălôṯ {בַּמַּעֲלוֹת | ba-maʿălôṯ} ‘on the steps’, modified by the relative clause ʾašer yāreḏāh {אֲשֶׁר יָרְדָה | ʾašer yāreḏāh} ‘which it had descended’.
In context — 2 Kings 20:11
And Isaiah the prophet called out to the LORD , and He restored the shadow on the steps of Ahaz’s stairway, bringing it back by ten steps—the steps by which it had descended.
