Revised Literal Translation

Jonah 1:13-16

13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.1 2

14Wherefore they cried unto Yhwh, and said, We beseech thee, O Yhwh, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Yhwh, hast done as it pleased thee.

15So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.3

16Then the men feared Yhwh exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto Yhwh, and made vows.4
