01 : 01 . Now the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD <
03068
+Y@hovah > came <01961 +hayah > unto Jonah <03124
+Yonah > the
son
<01121 +ben > of Amittai <00573 +>Amittay > ,
saying <00559
+>amar > ,
01 : 02 Arise <06965 +quwm > , go <03212 +yalak >
to Nineveh
<05210 +Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl >
city <05892
+<iyr > , and cry <07121 +qara> > against <
05921 +<al > it ;
for
their wickedness <07451 +ra< > is come <05927 +<
alah > up
before
<06440 +paniym > me .
01 : 03 But Jonah <03124 +Yonah > rose <06965 +quwm
> up to
flee
<01272 +barach > unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh >
from the
presence <06440 +paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah
> , and
went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to Joppa
<03305
+Yapho
> ; and he found <04672 +matsa> > a ship <00591
+>oniyah >
going
<00935 +bow> > to Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > :
so he paid
<05414
+nathan > the fare <07939 +sakar > thereof , and went
<03381
+yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into it , to go <
00935 +bow> >
with
them unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > from the presence
<06440
+paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .
01 : 04 . But the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > sent <02904
+tuwl >
out
a great <01419 +gadowl > wind <07307 +ruwach > into
<00413
+>el >
the sea <03220 +yam > , and there was a mighty <01419
+gadowl
>
tempest <05591 +ca<ar > in the sea <03220 +yam >
, so that the
ship <00591 +>oniyah > was like <02803 +chashab >
to be broken
<07665 +shabar > .
01 : 05 Then the mariners <04419 +mallach > were afraid
<03372
+yare> > , and cried <02199 +za<aq > every man
unto his god
<00430
+>elohiym > , and cast <02904 +tuwl > forth <
02904 +tuwl > the
wares <03627 +k@liy > that [ were ] in the ship <
00591
+>oniyah
> into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > ,
to lighten <07043
+qalal > [ it ] of them . But Jonah <03124 +Yonah >
was gone
<03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into <00413
+>el > the
sides
<03411 +y@rekah > of the ship <05600 +c@phiynah > ;
and he lay
<07901 +shakab > , and was fast asleep <07290 +radam
> .
01 : 06 So the shipmaster came <07126 +qarab > to him ,
and
said
<00559 +>amar > unto him , What <04100 +mah >
meanest thou ,
O
sleeper <07290 +radam > ? arise <06965 +quwm > ,
call <07121
+qara> > upon thy God <00430 +>elohiym > , if
<00194 +>uwlay
> so
be that God <00430 +>elohiym > will think <06245
+<ashath >
upon
us , that we perish <6> not .
01 : 07 And they said <00559 +>amar > every <00376
+>iysh > one
<00376 +>iysh > to his fellow <07453 +rea< > ,
Come <03212
+yalak > , and let us cast <05307 +naphal > lots <
01486
+gowral >
, that we may know <03045 +yada< > for whose <04310
+miy >
cause
<07945 +shel > this <02063 +zo>th > evil <
07451 +ra< > [ is ]
upon us . So they cast <05307 +naphal > lots <01486
+gowral >
,
and the lot <01486 +gowral > fell <05307 +naphal >
upon Jonah
<03124 +Yonah > .
01 : 08 Then said <00559 +>amar > they unto him , Tell
<05046
+nagad > us , we pray <04994 +na> > thee , for
whose cause
<00834
+>aher > this <02063 +zo>th > evil <07451
+ra< > [ is ] upon
us
; What <04100 +mah > [ is ] thine occupation <04399
+m@la>kah >
? and whence <00370 +>aiyn > comest <00935 +bow>
> thou ?
what
<04100 +mah > [ is ] thy country <00776 +>erets
> ? and of
what
people <05971 +<am > [ art ] thou ?
01 : 09 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , I [
am ] an
Hebrew <05680 +<Ibriy > ; and I fear <03373
+yare> > the LORD
<03068 +Y@hovah > , the God <00430 +>elohiym >
of heaven
<08064
+shamayim > , which <00834 +>aher > hath made <
06213 +<asah >
the
sea <03220 +yam > and the dry <03004 +yabbashah >
[ land ] .
01 : 10 Then were the men <00582 +>enowsh > exceedingly
<01419
+gadowl > afraid <03372 +yare> > , and said <
00559 +>amar >
unto
him , Why <04100 +mah > hast thou done <06213 +<
asah > this
<02063 +zo>th > ? For the men <00582 +>enowsh
> knew <03045
+yada< > that he fled <01272 +barach > from the
presence <06440
+paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , because <
03588 +kiy
>
he had told <05046 +nagad > them .
01 : 11 . Then said <00559 +>amar > they unto him ,
What
<04100
+mah > shall we do <06213 +<asah > unto thee , that
the sea
<03220
+yam > may be calm <08367 +shathaq > unto us ? for the
sea
<03220
+yam > wrought <01980 +halak > , and was tempestuous
<05490
+cowph > .
01 : 12 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Take
<05375
+nasa> > me up , and cast <02904 +tuwl > me forth
<02904
+tuwl >
into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > ; so
shall the sea
<03220 +yam > be calm <08367 +shathaq > unto you :
for I know
<03045 +yada< > that for my sake <07945 +shel >
this great
<01419
+gadowl > tempest <05591 +ca<ar > [ is ] upon you .
01 : 13 Nevertheless the men <00582 +>enowsh > rowed
<02864
+chathar > hard to bring <07725 +shuwb > [ it ] to
the land
<03004 +yabbashah > ; but they could <03201 +yakol
> not : for
the sea <03220 +yam > wrought <01980 +halak > ,
and was
tempestuous <05490 +cowph > against <05921 +<al >
them .
01 : 14 Wherefore they cried <07121 +qara> > unto the
LORD
<03068
+Y@hovah > , and said <00559 +>amar > , We beseech
<00577
+>anna> > thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , we
beseech <00577
+>anna> > thee , let us not perish <6> for this
<02088 +zeh >
man
s <00376 +>iysh > life <05315 +nephesh > , and
lay <05414
+nathan > not upon us innocent <05355 +naqiy > blood
<01818
+dam >
: for thou , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , hast done <
06213
+<asah
> as it pleased <02654 +chaphets > thee .
