The story of Jonah and the whale is about a Hebrew prophet named Jonah, who God commands to travel to the great city of Nineveh to preach repentance to its inhabitants because of their wickedness. Jonah instead refuses God’s mission and tries to escape by boarding a ship traveling in the opposite direction.

Jonah, a Jewish prophet, was instructed by G‑d to travel to the non-Jewish metropolis of Nineveh. There he was to warn them that if they did not return from their sinful ways, the city would be destroyed.

At this time another prophet, named Jonah, was giving the word of the Lord to the Israelites. To Jonah the Lord spoke, saying: "Go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it; for its wickedness rises up before me."

God provides a large fish, often translated as a whale, to swallow Jonah. Jonah remains in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, a period that symbolizes death and resurrection in biblical numerology.
