Jonah 1:3

Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord (Yahweh).
He went down to Jaffa,
he found a ship going to Tarshish, paid for the trip and went down [into the boat] to go to Tarshish, away from the face of the Lord (Yahweh) (God's presence).
[Jaffa (Hebr. Jafo, Gk. Joppe) is a port city just south of present-day Tel Aviv. In this verse, the distant western city of Tarshish is mentioned three times. The verse is structured as a three-level chiasm that reinforces how Jonah flees from God's presence and travels toward Tarshish, in the opposite direction from Nineveh. In the second level of the chiasm, the same verb "down" is used for Jaffa as for "down" in the boat, which also reinforces how Jonah goes further down, away from God's will.]
