A prophet in the Book of Jonah famous for being swallowed by a great fish.
Jonah's call to prophesy
God orders Jonah to prophesy to the city of Nineveh.[1] Jonah attempts to avoid God's command by going to Joppa and sailing to Tarshish.[2] A huge storm arises.[3] The sailors realized this was no ordinary storm, cast lots, and learn that Jonah is to blame.[4] Jonah admits this,[5] and states that if he is thrown overboard, the storm will cease.[6] The sailors eventually throw him overboard, and the seas calmed,[7] and the sailors worshiped the LORD.[8]
Jonah is miraculously swallowed by a large fish, where he survived for three days and nights.[9] While in the great fish, Jonah prays to God and asks forgiveness and thanks God for being so forgiving, and, as a result, God commands the fish to vomit Jonah out.[10]
