The People of Nineveh Repent at Jonah’s Proclamation
3 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 “Get up! Go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the message that I am telling you.” 3 So Jonah got up[fn] and went to Nineveh according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh wasan extraordinarily great city[fn]—a journey of three daysacross.[fn] 4 And Jonah began to go into the city a journey of one day, and he cried out and said, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be demolished!”[fn] 5 And the people of Nineveh believed in God, and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth—from the greatest of them to the least important.[fn]
?:? Or “set out”
?:? Literally “a great city to God” or “a great city to the gods,” a disputed phrase which may refer to God’s estimate or ownership of Nineveh, to the presence of many idols, or an idiom referring to the size of Nineveh (this translation takes the last view)
?:? This phrase may also refer to a journey on which business was done, so that “three days” is the total elapsed time
?:? Or “overthrown”
?:? Literally “to the smallest of them”
