Jonah 1:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ But Jonah set out to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish.^[a] He paid the fare and boarded the ship to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord.

⁴ But the Lord hurled a great wind onto the sea, and there was such a great storm on the sea that the ship was about to break apart. ⁵ The sailors were afraid, and each one cried out to his gods. They threw the ship’s cargo into the sea to lighten the ship’s load.

Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship. He was lying down and sleeping soundly.
