Now the word of vuvh came to Yonah the son of
Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Ninveh, that great city, and proclaim
against it; for their wickedness is come up before
Me. 3139
3 But Yonah rose up to flee to Tarshish 3140 from the
presence of vuvh, and went down to Yapho; and he
found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare, and
went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the
presence of vuvh.
4 But vuvh sent out a great wind into the sea, and there
was a mighty storm in the sea, so that the ship was
likely to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to
his elohim, and cast out the cargo that was in the ship
into the sea, to lighten the load. But Yonah had gone
down into the lowest parts of the ship; and he lay down,
and was fast asleep.
6 So the captain came to him, and said to him, What
does all this mean to you sleeper? Arise, call upon your
Elohim, if so be that your Elohim will think upon us, so
that we do not perish.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let
us cast lots, that we may know what man has brought
this evil upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon
Yonah.
8 Then they said to him, Tell us, we beg you, for whose
cause has this evil come upon us; What is your
occupation? And where do you come from? What is
your country? And from what people are you?
9 And he said to them, I am an Ivri; and I fear vuvh, the
Elohim of the shamayim, who has made the sea and the
dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to
him, Why have you done this? For the men knew that he
fled from the presence of vuvh, because he had told
them.
11 Then they said to him, What shall we do to you, that
the sea may be calm for us? For the sea raged, and was
growing more stormy.
12 And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me into
the sea; then shall the sea be calm for you: for I know
that for my sake this great storm is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the
land; but they could not: for the sea raged, and was
tempestuous against them.
14 Therefore they cried to vuvh, and said, We ask You,
O vuvh, we ask You, let us not perish for this man’s
chayim, and lay not upon us innocent dahm: for You, O
vuvh, have done as it pleased You.
15 So they took up Yonah, and cast him overboard into
the sea: and the sea ceased from raging.
16 Then the men feared vuvh exceedingly, and offered a
sacrifice to vuvh, and made vows.
17 Now vuvh had prepared a great fish to swallow up
Yonah. And Yonah was in the belly of the fish three
days and three nights. 3141

Then Yonah made tefillah to vuvh his Elohim out of

the fish’s belly,
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to vuvh,
and He heard me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and
You heard my voice.
3 For You had cast me into the deep, in the midst of the
seas; and the floods surrounded me around: all Your
breakers and Your waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of Your sight; yet I will look
again toward Your kodesh Hekal.
5 The mayim surrounded me, even to the being: the
deep closed around me, the weeds were wrapped around
my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the
earth with its bars behind me le-olam-va-ed: yet have
You brought up my chayim from corruption, O vuvh my
Elohim.
7 When my being fainted within me I remembered
vuvh: and my tefillah came in to You, into Your kodesh
Hekal.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own
rachamim.
9 But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of hodu; I
will pay that which I have vowed. Yahshua is from
vuvh. 3142
10 And vuvh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out
Yonah upon the dry land.
3
And the word of vuvh came to Yonah the second
time, saying,
2 Arise, go to Ninveh, that great city, and proclaim the
message that I tell you.
3 So Yonah arose, and went to Ninveh, according to the
word of vuvh. Now Ninveh was an exceedingly great
city of three days’ journey.
4 And Yonah began to enter into the city a day’s
journey, and he proclaimed, and said; yet forty days,
and Ninveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Ninveh believed Elohim, and
proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the
greatest of them even to the least of them. 3143
6 For word came to the melech of Ninveh, and he arose
from his kesay, and he laid his robe before him, and
covered himself with sackcloth, and ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published
throughout Ninveh by the decree of the melech and his
nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor
flock, taste anything: let them not eat, nor drink mayim:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and
cry mightily to Elohim: yes, let everyone make teshuvah
from his evil derech, and from the violence that is in
their hands.
9 Who can tell if Elohim will turn and relent, and turn
away from His fierce anger that we perish not?
10 And Elohim saw their works that they turned from
their evil derech; and Elohim relented of the evil, that
He had said that He would do to them; and He did it
not. 3144

But it displeased Yonah exceedingly, and he was
