Megillot III ix Jonah 3 Jonah Prophesies to NinevehIn Jonah chapter 3, the prophet finally accepts God's commission to prophesy to the people of Nineveh. Immediately, they all--king, nobles, commoners, and even animals--repent. God relents from carrying out Jonah's prophesy of doom.
Megillot III viii Jonah 2 - A Prayer from the Belly of the FishFrom the belly of the fish, Jonah prays. Then the fish vomits him onto dry land. What is the nature of Jonah's prayer? What does it contain? What does it omit? How does it compare to other prayers in Tanach--and especially in Psalms/Tehillim? What does it have to do with the narrative in chapters 1, 3, and 4?
