Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
קוּם לֵךְ אֶל־נִֽינְוֵה הָעִיר הַגְּדוֹלָה וּקְרָא עָלֶיהָ כִּֽי־עָלְתָה רָעָתָם לְפָנָֽי
’Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me.’
וַיָּקָם יוֹנָה לִבְרֹחַ תַּרְשִׁישָׁה מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּרֶד יָפוֹ וַיִּמְצָא אָנִיָּה בָּאָה תַרְשִׁישׁ וַיִּתֵּן שְׂכָרָהּ וַיֵּרֶד בָּהּ לָבוֹא עִמָּהֶם תַּרְשִׁישָׁה מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָֽה
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish, from the presence of the LORD.
