Yahweh Sends a Great Storm

Jonah 1:4-10

And Jehovah hath cast a great wind on the sea, and there is a great tempest in the sea, and the ship hath reckoned to be broken;

and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and cast the goods that are in the ship into the sea, to make it light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep.

And the chief of the company draweth near to him, and saith to him, `What--to thee, O sleeper? rise, call unto thy God, it may be God doth bethink himself of us, and we do not perish.'

And they say each unto his neighbour, `Come, and we cast lots, and we know on whose account this evil is on us.' And they cast lots, and the lot falleth on Jonah.

And they say unto him, `Declare to us, we pray thee, on what account this evil is on us? what is thine occupation, and whence comest thou? what is thy country, seeing thou art not of this people?'

And he saith unto them, `A Hebrew I am , and Jehovah, God of the heavens, I am reverencing, who made the sea and the dry land.'

And the men fear a great fear, and say unto him, `What is this thou hast done!' for the men have known that from the face of Jehovah he is fleeing, for he hath told them.
