Jonah 1:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible

15 Then the sailors took hold of Jonah and they threw him into the sea. The storm stopped and the sea became quiet. 16 When they saw what had happened, the sailors became very afraid of the Lord's power. They offered a sacrifice to him and they promised that they would serve him.

17 But the Lord sent a great fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah was inside the fish's stomach for three days and three nights.[a]

Footnotes

  1. 1:17 The great fish may have been what we call a whale. The Hebrew word could include whales as well as fish. ‘Swallow’ means that the fish took Jonah down into its stomach but it did not bite him.
