Jonah 1:1-6: Translation and Comments

Jonah is unique among the Old Testament’s prophetic books. Instead of being a record of the prophecies of Jonah it tells of his unwillingness to proclaim God’s word to Nineveh. I am currently in the process of translating Jonah and I hope to post my translation, bit by bit, with a few comments about each section, mainly from what I already know and from what the Hebrew texts highlights (which may not come over very well into English). As a result the translation itself will be very literal and the English may be awkward in places.
