    Description

    Who was Jonah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jonah was a prophet from Gath-hepher during the reign of Jeroboam II, king of Israel (2Ki.14.25). God called Jonah to preach against the wickedness of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria (Jon.1.1-2). Jonah fled by ship in the opposite direction to Tarshish (Jon.1.3). A storm arose and the sailors, discovering it was Jonah's fault, threw him overboard (Jon.1.4-15). God provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and he was in its belly for three days and nights (Jon.1.17). Jonah prayed, and the fish vomited him onto dry land (Jon.2.1-10). God again told Jonah to preach to Nineveh (Jon.3.1-2). Jonah obeyed, and the people repented (Jon.3.3-9). God relented of the disaster he had threatened (Jon.3.10). Jonah was angry that God spared the city (Jon.4.1-3). God caused a plant to shade Jonah, then made it wither (Jon.4.5-8). God used this to rebuke Jonah's lack of pity for Nineveh (Jon.4.9-11). Jesus compared his future burial and resurrection to Jonah's time in the fish (Mat.12.39-41, 16:4; Luk.11.29-32).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Jonah10 of 10 entities the graph connects to Jonah, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 2, events 7. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.AmittaiChild of · 2 versesKinshipJonah’s journeyTook part in · 2 versesJonah’s proclamationTook part in · 2 versesCompanyLORD2 events · 1,004 versesStay1 event · 53 versesHebrews1 event · 37 versesTarshish2 events · 20 versesNineveh3 events · 19 versesJoppa1 event · 14 versesShip1 event · 3 versesEventsJonah

Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Jonah there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.TarshishJoppaNineveh
