Jonah (Biblical figure)

Jonah is a biblical prophet from the Hebrew Bible, known for being swallowed by a large fish or whale. God commanded him to go to the city of Nineveh to call its inhabitants to repent from their wicked ways. Instead, Jonah initially tried to flee, but after being caught in a storm at sea and eventually swallowed by the fish, he prayed and was given a second chance. After emerging from the fish, he obeyed and delivered God's message, leading the people of Nineveh to repent. Jonah's story highlights themes of obedience, repentance, and God's mercy.
