gnostek1 / 8Illustrated Jonah from the 15th-century Kennicott Bible
- 01Jonah is the only biblical prophet sent to a foreign enemy city — Nineveh, capital of the Assyrian empire.
- 02He successfully converts 120,000 Ninevites, then sits down and wishes he were dead out of spite.
- 03The fish is mentioned in three verses; Jonah's tantrum over a dead gourd plant gets an entire chapter.
