 | | Jonah (יוֹנָה "Dove", Standard Hebrew Yona, Latin Ionas, Tiberian Hebrew,and (Arabic يونس Yunus or Yunis in Islamic Qura'anic terms) was a person in the Biblical Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh, the son of Amittai ("True"), from the Galilean village of Gath-hepher, near Nazareth. |
 | | Jonah, from a notion probably that his divine mission would be disputed, was afflicted at this result and complained to God that he had always questioned whether, as being a God of mercy, He would not yield to their prayers. |
