Jonah 1:1      Jonah 1:3

Jonah 1:2

"Arise, go to Nineveh [Mosul in present-day Iraq], that great city, and cry out (Hebr. qara) [preach] against it, for its wickedness has come up before me."
[The name Jonah means "dove" (see also Gen. 9:8–9) and Amittai means "truth." Literally, the first sentence is: "And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah, son of Amittai, saying." The fact that the book begins with the word "and" (Hebr. Vav) reinforces how the story is connected to the message of the entire Bible. This style of writing is not unusual; see also, for example, Ex. 1:1; Lev. 1:1; Num. 1:1; Josh. 1:1 etc., although Jonah is the only one of the twelve prophetic books that begins with Vav.]
