Many Jewish scholars believe that the Book of Jonah is actually a record of a dream or vision.
It's in a completely different format than the other Nevi'im (prophets); the city of Nineveh never worshipped the Israelite God in the first place, so Jonah being sent there made no sense in historical context; God is a far more anthropomorphized figure in Jonah than in any other part of the Tanahk (possibly excepting Job).
In the Book of Jonah, Jonah is chosen by God to go prophesy to the city of Nineveh, and Jonah refuses, fleeing God, and ends up tossed into the ocean and swallowed by Leviathan for his troubles.
When he's finally back on dry land he repents and goes to Nineveh, prophesying the city's destruction if it doesn't repent and return to God.
The city listens and repents, and God spares it, and Jonah goes and has a pout in the desert about why did he need to come here in the first place when God had to know all along they would repent.
1. Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻#MythologyMonday #Celtic: Óengus, son of the Dagdae, was in decay for two years.
“What ails him?” asked Bodb.
“He has seen a girl in his sleep. We do not know where in Ireland is the girl he has loved and has seen. You are commanded by the Dagdae to seek throughout Ireland until you find a girl of this form and shape.”
“It will be searched”, said Bodb, “and let me have a year’s respite so I can find knowledge of the story”.
He came at the end of a year to Bodb’s house at Síd al Femen.
“I made a circle of Ireland until I found the girl at Loch Bél Dracon at Crotta Cliach”, [said Bodb].

#MythologyMonday #Celtic: For a full year the girl (https://sl.bing.net/hFE8UtmpW9s) was visiting Óengus in his dreams, `so that he wasted away.
He didn’t speak to anyone. He continued to decay then and nobody knew what was the matter with him. The physicians of Ireland were gathered. They didn’t know what was the matter with him at last.
Word was sent to Fingen, Conchobar’s physician. He came to him. He used to know in the face of the person the disease that he used to have and he used to recognise from the smoke out of the house the number that used to be sick there.`

She played music for him. She slept with him. He was there until the next morning. He was not able to eat anymore the next morning.`
