Jonah 1:1-4

1:1

Jonah <03124> [Jonah.]

[Jonas.]


1:2

Nineveh <05210> [Nineveh.]

announce <07121> [cry.]

wickedness <07451> [for.]


1:3

escape <01272> [to flee.]

from .................................... from <06440> [from.]

Joppa <03305> [Joppa.]

Tarshish ..................... Tarshish ................ Tarshish <08659> [Tarshish.]

As Jonah embarked at Joppa, a seaport on the Mediterranean, it was probably either Tarsus in Cilicia, or rather Tartessus in Spain, to which he intended to flee. When we reflect how such a message would be received in the streets of London at this day, we shall not wonder at the prophet's reluctance to announce the destruction of the proud and idolatrous Nineveh.


1:4

Lord <03068> [the Lord.]

hurled <02904> [sent out. Heb. cast forth. like. Heb. thought.]
