<P> Displeased by this, Jonah refers to his earlier flight to Tarshish while asserting that, since God is merciful, it was inevitable that God would turn from the threatened calamities . He then leaves the city and makes himself a shelter, waiting to see whether or not the city will be destroyed . God causes a plant (in Hebrew a kikayon) to grow over Jonah's shelter to give him some shade from the sun . Later, God causes a worm to bite the plant's root and it withers . Jonah, now being exposed to the full force of the sun, becomes faint and pleads for God to kill him . </P> <P> And God said to Jonah: "Art thou greatly angry for the Kikayon?" And he said: "I am greatly angry, even unto death ." And the LORD said: "Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night; and should not I have pity on Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?" </P> <P> The Book of Jonah (Yonah יונה) is one of the twelve minor prophets included in the Tanakh . According to one tradition, Jonah was the boy brought back to life by Elijah the prophet in 1 Kings 17 . Another tradition holds that he was the son of the woman of Shunem brought back to life by Elisha in 2 Kings 4 and that he is called the "son of Amittai" (Truth) due to his mother's recognition of Elisha's identity as a prophet in 2 Kings 17: 24 . The Book of Jonah is read every year, in its original Hebrew and in its entirety, on Yom Kippur--the Day of Atonement, as the Haftarah at the afternoon mincha prayer . According to Rabbi Eliezer, the fish that swallowed Jonah was created in the primordial era and the inside of its mouth was like a synagogue; the fish's eyes were like windows and a pearl inside its mouth provided further illumination . </P> <P> According to the Midrash, while Jonah was inside the fish, it told him that its life was nearly over because soon the Leviathan would eat them both . Jonah promised the fish that he would save them . Following Jonah's directions, the fish swam up alongside the Leviathan and Jonah threatened to leash the Leviathan by its tongue and let the other fish eat it . The Leviathan heard Jonah's threats, saw that he was circumcized, and realized that he was protected by the Lord, so it fled in terror, leaving Jonah and the fish alive . The medieval Jewish scholar and rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra (1092--1167) argued against any literal interpretation of the Book of Jonah, stating that the "experiences of all the prophets except Moses were visions, not actualities ." The later scholar Isaac Abarbanel (1437--1509), however, argued that Jonah could have easily survived in the belly of the fish for three days, because "after all, fetuses live nine months without access to fresh air ." </P>
