The Masoretic text places Joel between Hosea and Amos ( the order inherited by the Tanakh and Old Testament ), while the Septuagint order is Hosea – Amos – Micah – Joel – Obadiah – Jonah.

The Book of Jonah ( Hebrew: Sefer Yonah ) is one of the Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible.

It tells the story of a Hebrew prophet named Jonah ben Amittai who is sent by God to prophesy the destruction of Nineveh but tries to escape the divine mission.

As mentioned above, the book of Jonah is not written like the other books of the prophets.

Jonah is almost entirely narrative with the exception of the psalm in chapter 2.

The story of Jonah is set against the background of Ancient Israel in the 8th-7th centuries BC but deals with the religious and social issues of the late 6th-4th centuries BC, coinciding with the views of latter chapters of the book of Isaiah ( Third Isaiah ), where Israel is given a prominent place in the expansion of God's kingdom to the Gentiles.

The story of Jonah is a drama between a passive man and an active God.

Jonah, whose name literally means " dove ," is introduced to the reader in the very first verse.

Jonah is furious, however, and angrily tells God that this is the reason he tried to flee from Him, as he knew Him to be a just and merciful God.

As far as the Book of Jonah is concerned, Targum Jonah offers a good example of this.

In Jonah 1: 6, the Masoretic Text ( MT ) reads, "... perhaps God will pay heed to us ...." Targum Jonah translates this passage as: "... perhaps there will be mercy from the Lord upon us ...." The captain's proposal is no longer an attempt to change the divine will ; it is an attempt to appeal to divine mercy.

The debate over the credibility of the miracle of Jonah is not simply a modern one.

In the popular understanding of Jonah, the fish is interpreted to be the low point of the story.

Jonah (; or ; Greek / Latin: Ionas ) is the name given in the Hebrew Bible ( Tanakh / Old Testament ) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BC, the eponymous central character in the Book of Jonah, famous for being swallowed by a fish or a whale, depending on translation.

The Biblical story of Jonah is also repeated, with minor differences, in the Qur ' an.

Jonah is also the central character in the Book of Jonah.

Ordered by God to go to the city of Nineveh to prophesy against it " for their great wickedness is come up before me ," Jonah seeks instead to flee from " the presence of the Lord " by going to Jaffa and sailing to Tarshish, which, geographically, is in the opposite direction.

While Jonah passively finds himself forced to act under the Divine Will, the people of Nineveh actively petition God to change His mind.
