1Now the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto Yonah [dove] the son of Amitai [my truth], saying, 2Arise, go to Nineveh [abode of Ninus, or Offspring’s Habitation], that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3But Yonah [dove] rose up to flee unto Tarshish [yellow jasper] from the presence of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish [yellow jasper]: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish [yellow jasper] from the presence of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

4But the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 5Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that [were] in the ship into the sea, to lighten [it] of them. But Yonah [dove] was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 6So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What mean youⁱ, O sleeper? arise, call upon yourⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], if so be that God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will think upon us, that we perish not.

7And they said everyone to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil [is] upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Yonah [dove]. 8Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray youⁱ, for whose cause is this evil upon us; What [is] yourⁱ occupation? and from what place come youⁱ? what [is] yourⁱ country? and of what people [are] youⁱ? 9And he said unto them, I [am] an ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew] ; and I fear the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of heaven, which has made the sea and the dry [land].

10Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why have youⁱ done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), because he had told them. 11Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto youⁱ, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. 12And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest [is] upon you. 13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring [it] to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 14For what reason they cried unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said, We beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youⁱ, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youⁱ, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for youⁱ, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), have done as it pleased youⁱ.

15So they took up Yonah [dove], and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. 16Then the men feared the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and made vows.

17Now the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had prepared a great fish to swallow (to approve, commend, accept) up Yonah [dove]. And Yonah [dove] was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
