Jonah
Neviim · c. 1000-420 BCE

יונה, היא סוג של עוף ממשפחת היוניים ובתוכו מספר מינים. בהרבה תרבויות היונה היא סמל לשלום.

Jonah or Jonas was a Jewish prophet from Gath-hepher in the Northern Kingdom of Israel around the 8th century BCE according to the Hebrew Bible. He is the central figure of the Book of Jonah, one of the minor prophets, which details his reluctance in delivering the judgment of God to the city of Nineveh in the Neo-Assyrian Empire. After he is swallowed by a large sea creature and then released, he returns to the divine mission.
