Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,

“Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.”

Jonah, however, got up to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to sail for Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.

4 and LORD to cast spirit: breath great: large to(wards) [the] sea and to be tempest great: large in/on/with sea and [the] fleet to devise: devise to/for to break

Then the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.

The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

6 and to present: come to(wards) him chief [the] pilot and to say to/for him what? to/for you to sleep to arise: rise to call: call to to(wards) God your perhaps to think [the] God to/for us and not to perish

“Come!” said the sailors to one another. “Let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity that is upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

“Tell us now,” they demanded, “who is to blame for this calamity that is upon us? What is your occupation, and where have you come from? What is your country, and who are your people?”

11 and to say to(wards) him what? to make: do to/for you and be quiet [the] sea from upon us for [the] sea to go: continue and to rage

Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”

12 and to say to(wards) them to lift: raise me and to cast me to(wards) [the] sea and be quiet [the] sea from upon you for to know I for in/on/with which/that to/for me [the] tempest [the] great: large [the] this upon you

“Pick me up,” he answered, “and cast me into the sea, so it may quiet down for you. For I know that I am to blame for this violent storm that has come upon you.”

13 and to dig [the] human to/for to return: return to(wards) [the] dry land and not be able for [the] sea to go: continue and to rage upon them

At this, they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging sea grew calm.
